This thesis investigates exchanges between poetry and criticism through the work of contemporary writers who seek to interrogate the boundaries between these discourses. Rather than conventional poetics or manifestos these poets are producing poetry that actively explores the tenets of their critical thinking, using hybrid forms to challenge perceived boundaries between practice and theory, art and criticism. In rethinking the nature and function of poetry while challenging critical conventions, this work has implications for both modes of writing. Itself a hybrid of poetry and theory, a fusion of critical and creative writing, the thesis enacts a performative investigation of this scene of writing.
