Berkeley. 2009. March 2009. University Of California Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Hardcover. No Dustjacket As Issued. Remainder Mark On Top Edge. 9780520258778. New California Poetry, 27. 205 pages. hardcover. keywords: Poetry America Literature. FROM THE PUBLISHER - This compelling selection of recent work by internationally celebrated poet Keith Waldrop presents three related poem sequences - 'Shipwreck in Haven,' Falling in Love through a Description,' and The Plummet of Vitruvius' - in a virtuosic poetic triptych. In these quasi-abstract, experimental lines, collaged words torn from their contexts take on new meanings. Waldrop, a longtime admirer of such artists as the French poet Raymond Queneau and the American painter Robert Motherwell, imposes a tonal override on purloined materials, yet the originals continue to show through. These powerful poems, at once metaphysical and personal, reconcile Waldrop's romantic tendencies with formal experimentation, uniting poetry and philosophy and revealing him as a transcendentalist for the new millennium. inventory #37440 ISBN: 9780520258778.
