Morris's study demonstrates his interest in moving beyond formalism to offer what Stephen Fredman calls "a wider cultural interpretation of literature that emphasizes the 'new historicist' concerns with hybridity, ethnicity, power relations, material culture, politics, and religion." Essays address from multiple perspectives--prophetic, diasporic, ethical--the vexing problems and sublime potential of disseminating lyrics--the ancient form of transmission and preservation of the singular, private human voice across time and space--to an individual reader, in an environment in which e-poetry and digitalized poetics pose a crisis (understood as both opportunity and threat) to traditional page poetry.
