Book excerpt: Poetry. ETRUSCAN READER VI gathers new work from three poets: Robin Blaser, Barbara Guest, and lee Hardwood. Blaser, along with Jack Spicer and Robert Duncan, was at the heart of the San Francisco Renaissance, and this selection is from THE HOLY FOREST, published by Coach House Books in 1993. Barbara Guest is the author of numerous books, including MUSICALITY (Kelsey St.), FAIR REALISM (Sun & Moon), and SO FAR (Stride), all available from SPD. Here she continues her examination and activation of line, phrase, and meaning: Angles localized familiar as earrings / with that same dainty promise / hold onto the celestial... (Earrings). Lee Harwood's collage-like poetry is an attempt in words at creating a four-dimensional world: Grotesque beasts look on, / beasts cobbled together from various spare parts/ and men's strange imaginations./ Is that a crocodile or an eroded dragon?/ A winged lion or a sphinx?/ All the world's plunder cobbled together (Coat of Arms on Wall in Ancient City)
Download or read book The Collected Poems of Barbara Guest written by Barbara Guest and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the SFSU Poetry Center Book Award (2010) One of the most notable members of the New York School—and its best-known woman—Barbara Guest began writing poetry in the 1950s in company that included John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, Frank O'Hara, and James Schuyler. And from the beginning, her practice placed her at the vanguard of American writing. Guest's poetry, saturated in the visual arts, extended the formal experiments of modernism, and played the abstract qualities of language against its sensuousness and materiality. Now, for the first time, all of her published poems have been brought together in one volume, offering readers and scholars unprecedented access to Guest's remarkable visionary work. This Collected Poems moves from her early New York School years through her more abstract later work, including some final poems never before published. Switching effortlessly from the real to the dreamlike, the observed to the imagined, this is poetry both gentle and piercing—seemingly simple, but truly and beautifully dislocating.

Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of American Poetry: The Twentieth Century contains over 400 entries that treat a broad range of individual poets and poems, along with many articles devoted to topics, schools, or periods of American verse in the century. Entries fall into three main categories: poet entries, which provide biographical and cultural contexts for the author's career; entries on individual works, which offer closer explication of the most resonant poems in the 20th-century canon; and topical entries, which offer analyses of a given period of literary production, school, thematically constructed category, or other verse tradition that historically has been in dialogue with the poetry of the United States.
Download or read book The Salt Companion to Lee Harwood written by Robert Sheppard and published by Salt Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to offer a comprehensive overview of the work of important British poet Lee Harwood, from his earliest writing as a follower of French Surrealism and New York poetry, when he was a leading light of the 'Underground' poetry of the 1960s, through to his long work The Long Black Veil and his major work since. It examines his work in terms of influence, poetics, gender, sexuality, eco-politics, as well as evidence of the spatial turn in contemporary culture. It also assesses his work in prose. The writers are drawn from a wide-range of literary backgrounds and approaches, but the editor draws these together in his introduction, which is followed by his own account of the story of Harwood's development, as well as the text of an unpublished interview with him. The book contains a useful bibliography of Harwood's work.More generally, it demonstrates how various schools of criticism may be used to illumine a single topic, and how these may be compared. The writers include some of the major critics of British alternative poetry as well as some newcomers who offer a fresh view of this much-loved work.

Book excerpt: Poetry. Edited and Translated from the French by Fred Beake. Fred Beake grew up in the rural West Riding of Yorkshire. He studied Afro Asian studies at Sussex University, and has since translated widely from modern French and classical Latin, and more recently classical Greek. Thirty years of work as a poet reveal "a personally realized impersonal vision"--John Silkin. His is a vision emanating from an often surreal, sometimes seditious quest for meaning on the other side of music and myth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mysteries of Small Houses, extracted here, Alice Notley explores 'histories' of a southwestern childhood, early poetic awakenings in Iowa and New York's Lower East Side, the Vietnam War, bereavement, and a transference of the poetic 'self' to Paris.

Download or read book A Book of Spilt Cities written by Bill Griffiths and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Now, (1999), confronting this heroic Legend, pitching his voice(s) against an increasingly dystopian terrain, Griffiths finds that London has been cleaved, divided against herself, split like the hemispheres of the cerebellum. 'Something organic has snapped.' Griffiths projects privileged versions of urban experience (courtly pageants) against a system that is evidently in terminal decline: 'the norm is wrong'. High-angle surveillance sweeps reveal the extent of the carnage. The poet exploits a system of hyphens, derived from earlier models, praise songs, to bond together warring elements: 'burnt bananna-eyed fruit groups', 'finger-suburbs', 'sleep-owl faces'. He works his apostrophes like dockers' hooks, hacking out unnecessary vowels, scoring the text, straining for optimum pace and expression. Through momentum, he achieves prophetic instability -- Iain Sinclair.
