About this product
Product Information
Sounding/Silence charts Heidegger's deep engagement with poetry, situating it within the internal dynamics of his thought and within the domains of poetics and literary criticism. Heidegger viewed poetics and literary criticism with notorious disdain: He claimed that his Erläuterungen ("soundings") of Holderlin's poetry were not "contributions to aesthetics and literary history" but rather stemmed "from a necessity for thought." And yet, the questions he poses--the value of significance of prosody and trope, the concept of "poetic language," the relation between language and body, the "truth" of poetry--reach to the very heart of poetics as a discipline and indeed situate Heidegger within a wider history of thinking on poetry and poetics. Opening up points of contact between Heidegger's discussions of poetry and technical and critical analyses of these poems, Nowell-Smith addresses a lacuna within Heidegger scholarship and sets off from Heidegger's thought to sketch a philosophical "poetics of limit."

Reviews
The best book on Heidegger and poetry that I have ever read, Nowell-Smith's Sounding Silence takes both Heidegger and poetry very seriously, presuming that the most worthwhile goal is to do justice to both in an attempt to advance our understanding of poetics.-Jonathan Culler, Cornell University "This is a major work of critical thought. . . highly recommended." -Choice "'Sounding/Silence' is a welcome contribution to a growing movement to rehabilitate literary criticism left casting about in the ruins that critical theory has made of literature studies." -The Review of Metaphysics, Nowell Smith's adventurous book shows that what is valuable in Heidegger's poetics is its disclosure of a truth in poetry opening up areas in which the reader can leave Heidegger behind. While Heidegger might still try to feign ownership of this clearing away of his own problematic authority, it is the poetry and its characteristic sounding of its own voice that exceed his. Nowell Smith reads Heidegger's readings of poems whose prosody is the catalyst of this transformation. He persuades us that Heidegger tries to see poetic figure, rhythm, and metrical invention as effacing themselves before an insight into the being of language. In fact, though, he exposes his own paradoxical reliance on poetry to try to establish the philosophical control his insights have empowered poetry to displace. To read Heidegger adequately here is to read him despite himself. Nowell Smith carefully and accessibly unpacks the ways in which Heidegger sets the poems to work against his philosophical unleashing of their own authority. Throughout, this central struggle of Heidegger's thought with itself is dramatized by concrete poetic examples and so by close attention to Heidegger's close attention to the words on the page. The result is a work with unusual power to make us intimate with Heidegger's still-compelling mix of the highest philosophical abstraction and the closest intimacy with the living contexts of expression. -----Paul Hamilton, Queen Mary, University of London, The best book on Heidegger and poetry that I have ever read, Nowell-Smith's Sounding Silence takes both Heidegger and poetry very seriously, presuming that the most worthwhile goal is to do justice to both in an attempt to advance our understanding of poetics.-Jonathan Culler, Cornell University, "The best book on Heidegger and poetry that I have ever read, Nowell-Smith's Sounding/Silence takes both Heidegger and poetry very seriously, presuming that the most worthwhile goal is to do justice to both in an attempt to advance our understanding of poetics." -----Jonathan Culler, Cornell University, "The best book on Heidegger and poetry that I have ever read, Nowell-Smith's Sounding/Silence takes both Heidegger and poetry very seriously, presuming that the most worthwhile goal is to do justice to both in an attempt to advance our understanding of poetics." --Jonathan Culler, Cornell University, "The best book on Heidegger and poetry that I have ever read, Nowell-Smith's Sounding /Silence takes both Heidegger and poetry very seriously, presuming that the most worthwhile goal is to do justice to both in an attempt to advance our understanding of poetics."
