How, in other words, did these poets become so relatable? Brian Glavey's \u003cem\u003eRelatability\u003c\/em\u003e tells the story of an aesthetic as it travelled from a cluster of mostly queer poets in the middle of the twentieth century to become increasingly central to everyday life in the early twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat the New York School poets are more relatable now than they were during their own lifetime speaks in part to the growing acceptance of same-sex desire in American culture. But Glavey argues that this transformation also tells the story of a shift in the way that aesthetic experience is understood to work. Moving away from forms of modernist impersonality, O'Hara, John Ashbery, James Schuyler, and Joe Brainard made sociability central to the experience of art and literature. Attempting to share their experience of works of art, they were willing to risk the reader's judgment that they had, perhaps, overshared. Glavey advances an idea of aesthetic judgment that takes seriously its missed connections as well as its successes. \u003cem\u003eRelatability\u003c\/em\u003e adds a fresh perspective to current conversations around attachment and affect in literary studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67807665062124,"sku":"9780226854267","price":52.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780226854267-relatability-1.jpg?v=1792526318"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/brian-glavey.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
