Now this book filled in a lot of the concerns i always wanted to hear in terms of musical composition. Charles Olsen piece on Prospective verse i think did more for my music than any rhethoric coming from the musical world. The book is filled with gems of many and lead me to a whole series of writers i had not taken in.

Has the Robert Duncan essay Bill mentioned...

If for no other reason, take up the collection for Lawrence Ferlinghetti's "Genesis of 'After the Cries of the Birds.'"
