How the tropes of science fiction infuse and inform avant-garde poetics and many other kindred arts

This insightful, playful monograph from Golston does exactly what it advertises: modeling poetics based on how poetry (and some parallel artistic endeavors) has filtered through a century-plus of science fiction. This is not a book about science fiction in and of itself, but it is a book about the resonances of science-fiction tropes and ideas in poetic language.

The germ of Golstons project is a throwaway line in Robert Smithsons Entropy and the New Monuments about how cinema supplanted nature as inspiration for many of his fellow artists: The movies give a ritual pattern to the lives of many artists, and this induces a kind of low budget mysticism, which keeps them in a perpetual trance. Golston charts how the demotic appeal of sci-fi, much like that of the B-movie, cross-pollinated into poetry and other branches of the avant garde.
Golston creates what he calls a regular Rube Goldberg machine of a critical apparatus, drawing on Walter Benjamin, Roman Jakobson, and Gilles Deleuze.

But he is not interested in the specific nuts and bolts of science fiction as it exists but rather how science fiction has created a model not only for other poets but also for musicians and landscape artists.
