<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This volume in the <i>Collected Writings of Robert Duncan</i> series gathers a far-reaching selection of Robert Duncan's prose writings including most of his longer and more well-known essays along with other prose that has never been widely available. Ranging in original publication dates between 1940 and 1985, the forty-one titles reveal a great deal about Duncan's life in poetry--including his impressions of poets whose work he admires, both contemporaries and precursors. Evocative and eclectic, this work delineates the intellectual contexts and sources of Duncan's poetics, and opens a window onto the literary communities in which he participated.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Includes some of Duncan's greatest essays . . . a great help to all readers.-- "CHOICE"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Robert Duncan </b>(1919-1988) was one of the major writers in the San Francisco Renaissance movement and is considered one of the most accomplished and influential of the postwar American poets.
