Radio Corpse

Explore the intriguing depths of modernist poetry with Radio Corpse by Daniel Tiffany, published by Harvard University Press in 1998. In this thought-provoking work, Tiffany delves into the necrophilic dimensions of Ezra Pound's poetry, presenting a unique interpretation of materiality through the lens of modernist imagery. With a comprehensive analysis that spans 302 pages, the author skillfully connects Decadent practices with avant-garde movements, uncovering a continuum that bridges the "corpse language" of Victorian poetry and the concept of the "radioactive" image. Tiffany's critical insights engage readers and scholars alike, fusing aesthetics, history, and literary criticism. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of poetry and politics in the 20th century.
