Benjamin Friedlander

This study offers an overview of avant-garde American poetry of the latter 20th century - a flourishing movement in American letters. The four 'experiments' in literary criticism vary in style and viewpoint. Taken together, they reassess the fundamental relationship between poetry and criticism.

Four Experiments in Criticism

Simulcast

Poetry. "Benjamin Friedlander speaks with ungainsayable clarity of what we had thought to forget"—Robert Creeley. "Is melancholy good? I think Ben Friedlander has the moodiest ear for it in the field, and wit to match. Where he takes this immodest gift is to a tangled interstice where idiom intersects with the body's fault lines. Uncannily the reader has almost had these thoughts. The attraction feels sideways, vertiginous. We receive, with these poems, the shapeliness of tact. Then suddenly he shows us the tax we pay to Rome"—Lisa Robertson. "As a poet, scholar, editor, and translator, Benjamin Friedlander has dedicated more than half a lifetime to rigorously engaging with the concepts and practices of contemporary poetry, and this much-wished-for book provides a beginning survey of that commitment. Gathered here are poems from the first ten years of his wide-ranging, critically probing, and intellectually ambitious poetic project. This book will amaze, defy, and remind again how not to be made complacent by what poetry offers"—Alan Gilbert.

The Missing Occasion of Saying Yes

"Collected Prose will introduce a new generation of readers to a central modernist and postmodernist thinker in American letters. For the energy of the avant-garde literary project at midcentury, Olson is it. No one else has the excitement or range."—Robert Hass "At last we have between two covers some of the most compelling theorizing in postmodern poetics and American Studies ever produced, from one of the defining figures in postwar American poetry. This is that rarest of books, a must-read for poets and scholars alike."—Alan Golding

Collected Prose

T. Engin Tuncer

Brings together in one book classical and modern DOA techniques, showing the connections between them Contains contributions from the leading people in the field Gives a concise and easy- to- read introduction to the classical techniques Evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of key super-resolution techniques Includes applications to sensor networks Classical and Modern Direction of Arrival Estimation contains both theory and practice of direction finding by the leading researchers in the field. This unique blend of techniques used in commercial DF systems and state-of-the art super-resolution methods is a valuable source of information for both practicing engineers and researchers. Key topics covered are: Classical methods of direction finding Practical DF methods used in commercial systems Calibration in antenna arrays Array mapping, fast algorithms and wideband processing Spatial time-frequency distributions for DOA estimation DOA estimation in threshold region Higher order statistics for DOA estimation Localization in sensor networks and direct position estimation T. Engin Tuncer is a Professor in Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department of Middle East Technical University, Turkey. His research is focused on sensor array and multichannel signal processing, statistical signal processing and communications. Ben Friedlander is an internationally known expert in the areas of statistical signal processing and its applications to communications and surveillance systems. He has extensive experience spanning over three decades in array processing and direction finding. In recent years his work focused on the use of multiple antennas for wireless communications. Currently he is a professor of electrical engineering at the University of California at Santa Cruz.
