Robert Frost's writing is continually solicited by the complexity and interrogative nature of perception itself and constitutes an extended and nuanced demonstration of the perceptual life and its discovery and exploration of the world. For this reason the concepts we find in phenomenology, and in particular in the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty on the nature of perception and its broader ontological implications, are particularly relevant for understanding this body of poetry.

Hypodermic Light: The Poetry of Philip Lamantia and the Question of Surrealism is the first examination of the American surrealist poet Philip Lamantia, who was associated with the Beats and the San Francisco Renaissance, and attempts to theorize the nature of surrealism in literature. Surrealism is seen as a continually excessive style that through a relentless pressing of analogy, allows both similarity and difference to appear. This book draws upon the earlier Levinas, Bataille, Alphonso Lingis, Deleuze, and Merleau-Ponty.
