Raves and Reviews
Invaluable archival documents. . . . Those familiar with Duncan's essays will find in these lectures his characteristic syntactical complexity and conceptual denseness.--Eric Keenaghan, Journal of Modern Literature
In these lectures, Duncan explores the meaning and context of Olson's poetry and dynamic presence as poet and innovator, while also providing a broader representation of poetry and thought, ancient and modern, delivered with wit, intelligence, curiosity, and care. Essential reading for anyone interested in . . . the work of two of the most important poets of the postwar period.--Peter O'Leary, author of Gnostic Contagion: Robert Duncan and the Poetry of Illness
