Summary

Pop artists (painters and poets) often get praised or criticized for their use of low-brow commercial iconography. Yet either appraisal obscures the rigors of Pop serial design. Adopting artist-poet Joe Brainard as its principal focus, this project presents Pop poetics not as a minor, coterie impulse meriting a sympathetic footnote in accounts of the postwar era's literary history, but as a missing link that potentially confounds any number of familiar critical distinctions (authentic record versus autonomous language, the "personal" versus the procedural). Pop poetics matter, argues Andy Fitch, not just to the occasional aficionado of Brainard's I Remember, but to anybody concerned with reconstructing the dynamic aesthetic exchange between postwar New York art and poetry.
