Produktbeschreibung
A refreshing rustle or seething to the words which bespeak the entrance of a new life. William Carlos Williams valued Charles Tomlinson's poetry for its new measure and refreshing perspective. Of all the poets of his generation, Tomlinson was most alert to English and translated poetry from other worlds. Octavio Paz admired how he saw the world as event, fascinated by the continuous generation and degeneration of things. Tomlinson's take on the world is sensuous, thoughtful, and metaphysical. His poems experiment with impression and expression, offering a dynamic selection for a new generation of readers. Edited by David Morley, this collection presents Tomlinson's most compelling work. It is for readers of poetry, students of literature, and those interested in transatlantic literary connections.
