Poet/critic Lytle Shaw works primarily on American literature with emphasis on poetics, art and theory. His books include Cable Factory 20, The Lobe, Frank O’Hara: The Poetics of Coterie and two forthcoming studies: Fieldworks: From Place to Site in Postwar Poetics and Specimen Box (on new modes of institution critique in art and poetry). A contributing editor for Cabinet, he has recently published catalog essays on Robert Smithson and Zoe Leonard for DIA Center; on Gerard Byrne for Koenig Books, and on The Royal Art Lodge for the Drawing Center. His collaborative work with the artist Jimbo Blachly has been exhibited widely and is collected in The Chadwick Family Papers: A Brief Public Glimpse. Shaw is currently working on two books: one about the politics of time in depicted landscapes and another about the status of poetry in recent theoretical debates. His courses include New York Poetry and the New Left, Theorizing the Archive, Very Contemporary Poetry, The Source of the Hudson: Landscape, Theory, History and Specters of Enlightenment in Postwar Poetics and Theory.
