Abstract

Authors English Literature Twentieth Century Zukofsky, Louis
The title "The Finer Mathematician" is an homage to Louis Zukofsky's rigorous, experimental approach to poetry, which integrates mathematical and musical structures. An introduction to his work, it explores how his "Objectivist" principles of "sincerity" and "objectification" led him to treat the poem as a physical object, using a lifetime of formal innovation to give language new purpose.
