Book excerpt: "Marverick" may be a bit much--they might be better considered a counterculture, the (mostly) non-violent resisters to the rule of academics and effetes. They're Bukowski, Carver, Corso, DiPrima, Ferlinghetti, Ginsberg, Olds, Snyder and a host more--and they're mostly terrific.

Download or read book Harold Norse written by A. Robert Lee and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who was Harold Norse? Despite publishing over a dozen volumes of poetry between the early 1950s and the new millennium, until now, the Brooklyn-born Norse has been relegated to a footnote in accounts of twentieth century literary history. Harold Norse: Poet Maverick, Gay Laureate is the first collection of essays devoted to this enigmatic poet and visual artist. As this volume explores, Norse, who developed his craft while living in Europe during the 1950s and 1960s, is an important figure in the development of mid-twentieth century poetics. During the 1950s and 1960s, Norse was a notable figure in the plethora of little poetry magazines published in the USA and Europe through to skirmishes with respectability and acceptance (Penguin and City Lights). Norse is a key figure in the development of the cut-up process made famous by his friend, William S. Burroughs. His correspondence with his mentor, the poet William Carlos Williams, captures his poetic shifts from formalism to the development of his Brooklyn idiom, while his gripping autobiography, Memoirs of a Bastard Angel, documents his transatlantic networks of writers and artists, among them James Baldwin, Allen Ginsberg, and Charles Bukowski. And after returning to the US in the late 1960s, Norse emerged as leading figure in Gay Liberation poetry. List of contributors: Jan Herman, Erik Mortenson, A. Robert Lee, Fiona Paton, Daniel Kane, Steven Belletto, Estíbaliz Encarnación-Pinedo, Ronna C. Johnson, Kurt Hemmer, Chad Weidner, Benjamin J.

Book Synopsis The Maverick Room by : Thomas Sayers Ellis
Download or read book The Maverick Room written by Thomas Sayers Ellis and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this powerhouse debut, Thomas Sayers Ellis in one poem prognosticates, "Pretty soon, the Age of the Talk Show / Will slip on a peel left in the avant-gutter." The result is The Maverick Room, the testing ground of determination and serendipity, where call and response becomes Steinian echo becomes hip-hop becomes a bootlegged recording hustled out a DC go-go club. With its defiance for any one tradition or voice, Ellis's debut collection becomes a powerful argument against monotony-just when "All their stanzas look alike," just when language fails in the face of catastrophe, just when, as Ellis confesses, "the twin terrors at the center of the word dollar / have made me and my craft liar-cowards." -- Publisher's description.

Book Synopsis Resurrecting Knives by : Vincent De Souza
Download or read book Resurrecting Knives written by Vincent De Souza and published by Salt Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The knives are out. Poetry declares hand-to-hand guerrilla war on conservative aesthetics, political correctness and boundaries imposed on art. In Resurrecting Knives De Souza dissects the conventional anatomy of the poem and fashions a new set of intellectual, technical and visual dynamics. Where the American Beat writing experimentalists put work to the sword, randomly cutting up and reforming statements into patchwork poetics – this writing takes on the idea and develops it into a method for strategically cutting into the body of the poem to allow for the insertion of different textures of language and thought. Without resorting to bludgeoning or violence, the author deftly applies a surgical scalpel to make neat cuts around titles or stanzas and into these virtual spaces flow lifeblood of diary entry, film scene descriptions and poetic theory grafted effortlessly into the poem. A meditation on the nature of human violence dovetails into the climactic hall of mirrors combat scene of Bruce Lee in Enter The Dragonâe¦A contemplation on the design of the Bowie knife cuts dramatically into a motorcycle gang’s knife skill contest in The Lovelessâe¦The poem narrator’s regret of hurling fiery verbal abuse suddenly slices into the scene-set with Clint Eastwood directing his gunslinger’s stare before shooting down murderous bandits in A Fistful of Dollars. This use of what De Souza describes as the “cut-in technique” is evident in poetry throughout this very adventurous second collection. At the same time, these experiments sit alongside an equally potent set of more conventional poems which continue to explore his favoured themes of the loss of childhood innocence, English landscape, the corrupt nature of business culture and the hedonistic intensity of London.
Download or read book At the Barriers written by Joshua Weiner and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maverick gay poetic icon Thom Gunn (1929–2004) and his body of work have long dared the British and American poetry establishments either to claim or disavow him. To critics in the UK and US alike, Gunn demonstrated that formal poetry could successfully include new speech rhythms and open forms and that experimental styles could still maintain technical and intellectual rigor. Along the way, Gunn’s verse captured the social upheavals of the 1960s, the existential possibilities of the late twentieth century, and the tumult of post-Stonewall gay culture. The first book-length study of this major poet, At the Barriers surveys Gunn’s career from his youth in 1930s Britain to his final years in California, from his earliest publications to his later unpublished notebooks, bringing together some of the most important poet-critics from both sides of the Atlantic to assess his oeuvre. This landmark volume traces how Gunn, in both his life and his writings, pushed at boundaries of different kinds, be they geographic, sexual, or poetic. At the Barriers will solidify Gunn’s rightful place in the pantheon of Anglo-American letters.

Download or read book The White Stones written by J. H. Prynne and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J. H. Prynne is Britain’s leading late-modernist poet. His work, as it has emerged since the 1960s, when he was close to Charles Olson and Edward Dorn, is marked by a remarkable combination of lyricism and abstraction, at once austere and playful. The White Stones is a book that is central to Prynne’s career and poetics, and it constitutes an ideal introduction to the achievement and vision of a legendary but in America still little-known contemporary master.
Download or read book me and Nina written by Monica Hand and published by Alice James Books. This book was released on 2016-05-30 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Monica Hand's me and Nina is a beautiful book by a soul survivor. In these poems she sings deep songs of violated intimacy and the hard work of repair. The poems are unsentimental, blood-red, and positively true, note for note, like the singing of Nina Simone herself. Hand has written a moving, deeply satisfying, and unforgettable book."—Elizabeth Alexander In an intimate conversation with the "High Priestess of Soul," Monica A. Hand surveys the places and moods of alienation through poems that are as musical and stylistically diverse as Nina Simone's work. Hand readily embraces a "mass hypnosis" style, putting "a spell on [us]" with her intensely passionate cries and commitment to embracing both tragedy and exuberance in these insightful poems. From "Dear Nina": I am not recession depression oppression compression crooked line broken line polka dot parking lot or spot I am a Gift from God I know that I am an un-kept solo song Monica A.

Book Synopsis Poets of the Chinese Revolution by : Gregor Benton
Download or read book Poets of the Chinese Revolution written by Gregor Benton and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How poetry and revolution meshed in Red China The Chinese Revolution, which fought its way to power seventy years ago, was a complex and protracted event in which groups and individuals with different hopes and expectations for the Revolution competed, although in the end Mao came to rule over the others. Its veterans included many poets, four of whom feature in this anthology. All wrote in the classical style, but their poetry was no less diverse than their politics. Chen Duxiu, led China’s early cultural awakening before founding the Communist Party in 1921. Mao led the Party to power in 1949. Zheng Chaolin, Chen Duxiu’s disciple and, like him, a convert to Trotskyism, spent thirty-four years in jail, first under the Nationalists and then under their Maoist nemeses. The guerrilla leader Chen Yi wrote flamboyant and descriptive poems in mountain bivouacs or the heat of battle. Poetry has played a different role in China, and in Chinese Revolution, from in the West—it is collective and collaborative. But in life, the four poets in this collection were entangled in opposition and even bitter hostility towards one another. Together, the four poets illustrate the complicated relationship between Communist revolution and Chinese cultural tradition.
