Overview
Goldmine of treasures grant access into this twentieth century modernist poet's extraordinary work. Perfect for stores like City Lights, Boulder Bookstore, and McNally Jackson.
The American poet Louis Zukofsky (1904–1978) was a master craftsman in a wide range of forms both traditional and invented. He was a crucial bridge between the “high” modernism of Eliot, Pound, Stein, Stevens, Williams, and Moore and various postwar innovative schools. The Uncollected Louis Zukofsky gathers a variety of his works, some long out of print, some never before published, in diverse genres. The centerpieces of this collection are two substantial works—the play Arise, Arise and the pamphlet-length version of First Half of “A”-9—but these texts are complemented by a rich selection of Zukofsky’s uncollected poems, translations, and prose works as well as some fascinating musical arrangements of passages from “A.” Contextualized by notes and a critical introduction by the editors, The Uncollected Louis Zukofsky is a must-read for anyone interested in twentieth-century poetry and poetics.
