Klappentext zu „The Topology of Being “
This study interprets Charles Olson's articulation of Being's primacy through a close Heideggerian reading of his prose tracts. It avoids the inadvertent man-centeredness pervasive in much Olson criticism, and within the context of Heideggerian hermeneutic phenomenology, this text asserts that Olson's poetics offers not simply an argument for structural displacement but a careful measurement of what is: a listening and responding to Being's connectedness that is "sewn in and binding/each seam" of the world. This study reveals Olson's grappling with the nature of the world, truth, the human mode of being, and language, and it concludes by arguing that in experiencing Olson's "topology", readers are afforded the opportunity to become topologists themselves: they are challenged to gauge their own openness to Being's address.

Pressezitat
"This book offers a clear and concise account of the poetics of Charles Olson from the perspective of Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology; it is the only book-length study of its kind. In uncovering Olson's articulation of the nature of the world, truth, language, and the human mode of Being, this study does justice to both Heidegger and Olson. It brings closer together the thinking of the poet and that of the philosopher in ways that will let both be more active participants in the discussion about our contemporary era." (Joseph J. Kockelmans, The Pennsylvania State University)"...the author has gained, and passes on, enough valuable insight into the poet as poet that this volume should not get lost in critical theory's present battle of the books." (R. Maud, Choice)
"Intelligent, coherent, and compressed, her øHalden-Sullivan's! book does well what it sets out to do." (Douglas Barbour, Canadian Literature)
