Anew, sun, to fire summer
leaves move toward the air
from the stems of the branches

fire summer fire summer
-from Anew

Here is the complete music-filled arc of Louis Zukofsky's shorter verse collected in one volume: lyrical love poems written to his wife Celia and son Paul; the groundbreaking Poem Beginning 'The,' which sends up 'The Waste Land' and its cultural vision in a cloud of bricolage, a hilarious pastiche of quotes, canon and kitsch, high and low hopelessly intertwined (Michael Palmer); the boisterous, riotous translations of Catullus; spare, brilliant nature poems as if written by an ancient hokku master; his genius 'Mantis' sestina; the enigmatic, spiraling, and beautiful last poems, 80 Flowers. Anew: Complete Shorter Poetry is a book of blessings and gifts for any poetry lover.
