《追随可能性(罗伯特·克里利诗歌尺度研究)》探讨了美国投射派诗人罗伯特·克里利关于诗歌及其形式、语言和情感的四个尺度：①诗歌是诗人自身现象性的衡量；②形式是内容的延伸；③词语是事物：④情感是诗歌的首要尺度。

“诗歌是诗人自身现象性的衡量”这一尺度强调时间的偶然流动，强调瞬间先于形式，强调同一性主体的消解以及世界的碎片性。“形式是内容的延伸”尺度则是投射诗三原理之一，它推翻形式与内容的二元对立，丰富了诗歌内容和形式的可能性。“词语是事物”的尺度涉及诗歌语言；在克里利的诗歌中，该尺度从四个方面得到体现：①阻碍语言和现实的联系；②直接以言行事；③削弱语言的主观性；④凸显语言自身特质。“情感是诗歌的首要尺度”，正因为克里利同时遵循其他三个尺度，他的情感表达方式与浪漫派和自白派诗人大相径庭。

克里利的四个尺度相互紧密联系着。一方面，遵循一个尺度意味着同时遵循其他尺度；另一方面，违背一个尺度也将背离其他尺度。这四个尺度继承并发展了惠特曼—庞德—威廉斯以降的美国诗歌传统，为语言诗的发展做出了重要的贡献。
