Anew
A gathering of all of Zukofsky's poems outside of "A" -- poems that are "absolute clarification, crystal cabinets full of air and angels" (Kenneth Rexroth).

"Magnificent ... a great poem really rolling in all its power and splendor of language."--James Laughlin.
Louis Zukofsky: Selected Poems
With an ear tuned to the most delicate musical effects, an eye for exact and heterogeneous details, and a mind bent on experiment, Louis Zukofsky was preeminent among the radical Objectivist poets of the 1930s. This is the first collection to draw on the full range of Zukofsky’s poetry——containing short lyrics, versions of Catullus, and generous selections from “A”, his 24-part “poem of a life”—and provides a superb introduction to a modern master of whom the critic Guy Davenport has written: “Every living American poet worth a hoot has stood aghast before the steel of his integrity.” The most formally radical poet to emerge among the second wave of American modernists, L...

Scroggins' discussions of Zukofsky's important long poem "A" are models of critical commentary. By showing in exemplary fashion how the skeins of Zukofsky's life and poetry are subtly interwoven, The Poem of a Life is a valuable and stimulating biography.--inside jacket.
