“This is an unusually original critical work, subtle in its appreciation of aesthetic and theoretical experimentation alike. It does what criticism should do: it exercises patience and practices openness, it amplifies the power of artistic and critical innovation, and it keeps faith with its reader.”---—Jonathan Elmer, Indiana University
Paying attention is thus the hinge around which an affective poetics moves. Frank’s assertion—that we can get close to that force of feeling, should we be
attentive enough—beckons the reader to lean forward and listen.
---—Erin Wunker, 452F
Subtle, lively, and conceptually rich, Transferential Poetics is innovative in both its critical insight and its design...This is a generous and inventive book and an important contribution to
the fields of affect studies and modern poetics.
