Ring

by Theodore Enslin

A long poem by celebrated American poet Theodore Enslin."Ted Enslin slices light. The blade of his insight moves as amazingly as a samurai's sword. Never any hokum, as Pound might say. The verity, the mastery, cause one to think inevitably of Zukofsky, of Black Mountain integrity. Ring sings like no one has since Robert Duncan." -Ronald H. Bayes, author of The Casketmaker-

Enslin's power here lies in his ability to take one object and examine it from multiple angles in an effort to show both good and bad, up and down, beautiful and ugly, but without making too-harsh judgments. A wonderful little book.
