The first book
devoted to the work of the
Objectivist Poets: Louis Zukofsky,
George Oppen,
Charles Reznikoff,
Carl Rakosi, Lorine Niedecker. Though not a
historical
study, Heller
explores the modernist roots of the Objectivist tradition
and
illuminates the meaning and importance of these poets not only for
writers
and scholars
but for poetry itself as significant knowledge
of
our world.
...a questing
intelligence, forever on the trail of the epistemological, the
'flimsy
beatitudes of order. The New
York Times Book
Review
He's somewhat a
latter-day Jewish Yeats, full of terror and joy, trying to make
some
sense of the chaotic destructiveness of the 20th century in lyric
poetry.
It is an heroic if impossible task. The
East
Hampton Star
...ideas
juxtaposed with imagery of earth and sea, and nature becomes a
symbol
of human drama--passionate, unbridled. Publishers
Weekly
a singular
address
to unknowingness. Confrontation
