Pierce-Arrow takes as its shooting off point the figure of Charles S. Peirce, the allusive late nineteenth-century philosopher-scientist and founder of pragmatism, a man always on the periphery of the academic and social establishments yet intimately conjoined with them by birth and upbringing.
Pierce-Arrow, Susan Howeâs newest book of poems, takes as its point of departure the figure of Charles S. Peirce, the allusive nineteenth-century philosopher-scientist and founder of pragmatism, a man always on the periphery of the academic and social establishment yet intimately conjoined with them by birth and upbringing. Through Peirce and his wife Juliette, a lady of shadowy antecedents, Howe creates an intriguing nexus that explores the darker, melancholy sides of the fin-de-siecle Anglo-American intelligentsia. George Meredith and his wife Mary Ellen, Swinburne and his companion Theodore Watts-Dunton, are among those who also find a place in the three long poem-sequences that comprise the book. Howeâs historical linkings, resonant with the sorrows of love and loss and the tragedies of war, create a compelling canvas of associations. âItâs the blanks and gaps,â she says, âthat to me actually represent what poetry isâthe connections between seemingly unconnected thingsâas if there is a place and might be a map to thought, when we know there is not.âAbout: Pierce-Arrow takes as its shooting off point the figure of Charles S.
