Reviews

"""In this illuminating and provocative study of performance poetry of the Americas, Janet Neigh makes a compelling case for a revisionary understanding of the genre as operating not only in the interstices of speech and writing but also in between cultures and nations."" --Sarah Phillips Casteel, associate professor, Department of English Language and Literature, Carleton University ""Neigh's Recalling Recitation in the Americas takes a fresh and valuable approach to the intersection of orality and literacy, live performance, and the forces of transnational, or, as Neigh prefers, hemispheric, cultural interactions in the verbal arts."" --Susan Gingell, professor emerita, Department of English, University of Saskatchewan"
