The Integral Years
Author: William Everson
Publisher: David R. Godine Publisher
ISBN: 9781574231083
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 414
Book Description
This third and concluding volume in the grand "life trilogy" of Everson's complete poems -- following The Residual Years: Poems 1934-1948 and The Veritable Years: Poems 1949-1966, both reissued last year by Black Sparrow -- brings into focus for the first time the full sweep of one of the great accomplishments of American poetry. A poet of moral conscience, natural landscape and spiritual meditation, Everson produced work of astonishing intellectual energy, kinetic power and symbolic resonance in these writings of his later years -- his output from the last days of his life as a lay brother (Brother Antoninus) through his departure from religious orders, marriage, and resumption of a secular name and career. the sea lions are gone. In their place, Beyond the white line of the breakers, Drifts a gaggle of surfers, oblique on their boards, Facing seaward. From the shore One sees but the tilted torsos, Tense shoulders, the alert heads. They look to the far Wrinkling of the sea, surmisin increment: Which influx of the swell, impending, Will coalesce into consequentiality, Engender thrust, and, reaching forward, Stoop towering in, all ultimate Augmentation? This, in their mind's eye, Is the vision of beatitude: The great wave of their wonder.

The Postmoderns
Author: Donald Allen
Publisher: Grove Press
ISBN: 9780802150356
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
This anthology includes many of the major poets to have emerged and gained pre-eminence since World War II, and whose writing reflects not only the significant changes in this nation's postwar history, and the coming to grips with a nuclear age, but also an entirely new way of looking at and structuring reality. United by their "postmodernist" concerns with spontaneity, "instantism," formal and syntactic flexibility, and the revelation of both the creator and the process through the writing itself, these 38 poets represent very diverse strains of an essential American individualism. Included are many of the poets whose work first gained widespread national attention with the 1960 publication of The New American Poetry: Charles Olson, Allen Ginsberg, Paul Blackburn, LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka), Denise Levertov, Robert Duncan, and others. Among the poets included here for the first time are Anne Waldman, Diane di Prima, Ed Sanders, Jerome Rothenberg, and James Koller. In addition to a new preface by Allen and Butterick, the book provides autobiographical notes of all the poets and listings of their major works.
