The Nile on eBay   FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE   Louis Zukofsky: Selected Poems by Louis Zukofsky, Charles Bernstein With an ear tuned to the most delicate musical effects, an eye for exact and heterogeneous details, and a mind bent on experiment, Louis Zukofsky was preeminent among the radical Objectivist poets of the 1930s. This is the first collection to draw on the full range of Zukofsky's poetry--containing short lyrics, versions of Catullus, and generous selections from"A", his 24-part "poem of a life"-and provides a superb introduction to a modern master of whom the critic Guy Davenport has written- "Every living American poet worth a hoot has stood aghast before the steel of his integrity."The most formally radical poet to emerge among the second wave of American modernists, Louis Zukofsky continues to influence younger poets attracted to the rigor, inventiveness, and formal clarity of his work.
