This extensive collection builds upon Gail Jeffersons groundbreaking 1996 article, "On the Poetics of Ordinary Talk," by seamlessly integrating the poetics of everyday conversation with the work of poets. By doing so, it offers a comprehensive and critical exploration of new data from talk-in-interaction and its applications in literary discourse.

The book commences by delving into the presentation that served as the foundation for Jeffersons article, emphasizing the presence of poetics in institutional talk. The subsequent section presents a detailed analysis of case studies drawn from Conversation Analysis, which leverage innovative data from naturally occurring discourse.

In the second half, the collection explores literary poetics as a distinct form of institutional talk that emerges from the poetics of ordinary talk. This exploration presents fresh avenues for interpreting works from classics, biblical studies, folklore studies, and contemporary literature. Each chapter engages in a thoughtful discussion of Jeffersons article, further reinforcing the connections between Conversation Analysis and literary studies while suggesting potential avenues for interdisciplinary scholarship.

The collection underscores the enduring impact of Jeffersons poetics on our understanding of language, encompassing both talk-in-interaction and literary discourse. It holds particular relevance for students and researchers in Conversation Analysis, literary studies, stylistics, and pragmatics, making it a valuable resource for advancing knowledge in these fields.
