These questions underlie the\u003cbr\u003einvestigation here of Roni Horn's Pair Object\u003cbr\u003eIII: For Two Rooms, Emily Dickinson's later\u003cbr\u003emanuscripts, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's Passages\u003cbr\u003ePaysages, Fiona Templeton's Cells of Release and\u003cbr\u003eJenny Holzer's Lustmord. The tenets of critical\u003cbr\u003eperformance, art-writing and site-writing\u003cbr\u003einform the critical method used in Poetics\u003cbr\u003eand Place. Each chapter is dedicated to one of\u003cbr\u003ethese five artworks, and is arranged in order\u003cbr\u003eto fulfil three main objectives: to understand\u003cbr\u003ehow the artworks generate meaning through a\u003cbr\u003ematerial poetics in relation to place; to develop\u003cbr\u003ea critical methodology for engaging with them;\u003cbr\u003eand to investigate their ethical potential and\u003cbr\u003epolitical imperative. All of this, ultimately,\u003cbr\u003efacilitates the development of a triadic relation\u003cbr\u003ebetween theoretical concepts of sign, subject\u003cbr\u003eand site at the crossover between poetry,\u003cbr\u003eart and spatial practices. This extends each\u003cbr\u003eartwork beyond the dyad of a critical encounter\u003cbr\u003ein order to offer – and allow others to grasp\u003cbr\u003e– an appreciation of how the artwork figures\u003cbr\u003emeaningfully, as well as configures meaning,\u003cbr\u003ein the wider world of objects and things. The\u003cbr\u003ebook concludes with a discussion of the ethics\u003cbr\u003eof reading from the second person, opening up\u003cbr\u003ea debate concerning the role of empathy within\u003cbr\u003econtemporary, politically engaged practices in\u003cbr\u003eart and poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eKristen Kreider is Senior Lecturer in the Department of English, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 December 2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI.B.
