2017 Reprint of 1957 Edition. Originally published in 1920 by The Four Seas Company. Williams, one of the most important poets of this century, wrote this book of prose-poetry in 1917. He reflects on daily events over the course of a year, his readings, thoughts, observations. For American poetry Kora in Hell provided an energetic, attractive, and puzzling model of a native "poet's prose" that has continued to fascinate. The book contains twenty-seven chapters of poet's prose. Written during World War I, the text is itself at war both with poetry as it had been traditionally conceived and with the expatriate wing of American modernism headed by Ezra Pound. Remains an important work to this day. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

These pieces keep a proximity to the earth, as such. Doctor and farmer are but two of the roles which occupy WCW. Decomposition earns its foreground, astride the wasted seed.
Matters then become abstracted and elongated into emotional whispers. Fidelity and the flesh harken to a Homeric shore. Williams notes each position but his prior wounds are never forgotten. Excerpts of letters from Pound, Stevens and HD illuminate while acting as scar tissue.
Memory remains a biological phenomenon, removed from the brocaded currency of writing-in-itself. I enjoyed these pieces, much mead for a thirsty soul. ( )
