Complete Short Poetry Summary

Complete Short Poetry by Louis Zukofsky

The American poet Louis Zukofsky received little public attention during his lifetime, though he was regarded by his literary contemporaries as one of the finest writers in the United States. Now in paperback, "Complete Short Poetry" gathers all of Zukofsky's poetry outside his 800-page magnum opus entitled "A" - including work that appeared in "All: The Collected Short Poems, 1923-1964", the experimental transliteration (with Celia Zukofsky) of Catullus, the limited edition "80 Flowers", as well as several fugitive pieces never before collected.

Complete Short Poetry Reviews

"Louis Zukofsky is one of the most important poets of my generation. These poems are absolute clarification, crystal cabinets full of air and angels."--Kenneth Rexroth "With a fleck of the bright future a whole world can again be imagined and the music picks up again. I hear a new music of verse stretching out into the future."--William Carlos Williams "The appearance of his short poems in one volume is a major event."--'World Literature Today' "The publication of this handsome edition of...'Complete Short Poetry' is important in a number of ways. It facilitates the availability of the complete Zukofsky canon, thereby potentially prompting renewed critical interest in the poet. And, as the choice of Robert Creeley as author of the volume's foreword reminds us, Zukofsky was an important influence on those American poets of the 1950s and 1960s whose work continues to bear an uneasy and illuminating relationship to the canon of American verse."--'Magill's Literary Annual 1992' "This volume is essential for anyone hoping to understand the whole modern movement, especially the Objectivist branch."--'Beloit Literary Journal'
