The Uncollected Louis Zukofsky

<b>A goldmine of treasures grant access into this twentieth century modernist poet's extraordinary work. Includes unpublished essays, drama, and poetry that enhances Zukofsky's stature within the revolutionary modernist movement.</b> <br/> <br/> The American poet Louis Zukofsky (1904–1978) was a master craftsman in a wide range of forms both traditional and invented. He was a crucial bridge between the “high” modernism of Eliot, Pound, Stein, Stevens, Williams, and Moore and various postwar innovative schools. <i>The Uncollected Louis Zukofsky </i>gathers a variety of his works, some long out of print, some never before published, in diverse genres. The centerpieces of this collection are two substantial works—the play <i>Arise, Arise</i> and the pamphlet-length version of <i>First Half of “A”-9</i>—but these texts are complemented by a rich selection of Zukofsky’s uncollected poems, translations, and prose works as well as some fascinating musical arrangements of passages from <i>“A.” </i>Contextualized by notes and a critical introduction by the editors, <i>The Uncollected Louis Zukofsky </i>is a must-read for anyone interested in twentieth-century poetry and poetics.
