Powers of Possibility: Experimental American Writing since the 1960s
Houen, Alex (University Lecturer in Modern Literature, and Fellow of Pembroke College, University of Cambridge)
By outlining a novel concept of literary practice, 'potentialism', this book shows how opening up literary possibilities enabled writers such as Allen Ginsberg, LeRoi Jones/Amiri Baraka, William S. Burroughs, Kathy Acker, and Lyn Hejinian to tackle matters of power and politics.
