Louis Zukofsky and the Poetry of Knowledge
Using a chronological and synchronic approach, poet and editor Scroggins presents an advanced introduction to the poet's thought and writing, first through a brief sketch of the poet's life and works, and then with an in-depth treatment of his entire body of poetic and critical writing. In exploring Zokofsky's poetics, conception of poetic language, and his notion of the relationship between language and knowledge, the author argues that Zukofsky's importance in 20th-century American poetry is equal to that of Pound, Eliot, and Stevens.

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...

"Magnificent ... a great poem really rolling in all its power and splendor of language."--James Laughlin.
Collected Fiction
Best known as one of the most significant poets of the 20th century, Louis Zukofsky was also an accomplished writer of fiction, all of which is collected here for the first time. Included is his only novel, "Little" (1970), which John Leonard in the "New York Times" called "an odd, playful, thoroughly charming novel about a child prodigy." (The novel is very autobiographical and Zukofsky's son, violin virtuoso, Paul Zukofsky, has written an afterword for this edition.) Also included are the four stories comprising "It Was," published in 1961 in a limited edition and virtually unobtainable for years. The stories range from the brief title story in which a writer struggles with the composition of the perfect sentence to the novella length "Ferdinand," which Guy Davenport praised in the "New York Times Book Review" as "a finely tuned story from a sensibility of extraordinary range and skill."
