AB - If we think of a literary work as an event experienced by a reader or listener, and if one mode of literary criticism is an honest report on that event, a poem whose singularity lies in part in its resistance to the conventional protocols of interpretation, such as coherence and continuity, presents a particular challenge. In this short essay, I give an account of my reading of Denise Riley’s ‘Lone Star Clattering’ that attempts to reflect the obstacles it places in the way of such a critical mode, using, and testing, an approach developed to describe the operation of the traditional lyric poem, Don Paterson’s theory of ‘conceptual domains’.
