It details the curve of his career, from the early Waste Land-parody “Poem beginning 'The'” (1926) to the dense and tantalizing beauties of his last poems, 80 Flowers(1978), paying special attention to the monumental, complex, and formally various epic poem “A”, on which Zukofsky labored for almost fifty years, and which he called “a poem of a life.”
Zukofsky was a protégé of Ezra Pound's, an artistic collaborator and close friend of William Carlos Williams's, and the leader of a whole school of 1930s avant-garde poets, the Objectivists. Later in life he was close friends with such younger writers as Robert Creeley, Paul Metcalf, Robert Duncan, Jonathan Williams, and Guy Davenport. His work spans the divide from modernism to postmodernism, and his later writings have proved an inspiration to whole new generations of innovative poets. Zukofsky's poetry is oblique, condensed, and as fantastically detailed as the late writings of James Joyce, yet it bears at every point the marks of the poet's life and times.</div>]]> 245840 4.67 51 11 2007 436370 0817309071 9780817309077 1 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1237305172m/436370.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1237305172s/436370.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/436370.Louis_Zukofsky_and_the_Poetry_of_Knowledge 4.67 6 245840 4.67 51 11 1998 436379 0817308261 9780817308261 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174761547m/436379.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174761547s/436379.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/436379.Upper_Limit_Music_The_Writing_of_Louis_Zukofsky 4.62 8 245840 4.67 51 11 1997 631043 1881471748 9781881471745 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176498314m/631043.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176498314s/631043.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/631043.Anarchy 4.83 6 245840 4.67 51 11 2003
