Daniel Katz - Hardback - Edinburgh University Press
In the years since his death, San Francisco Renaissance poet Jack Spicer has gradually come to be recognized as one of most intriguing, demanding, and rewarding of the so-called 'New American Poetry' poets who were first published in Donald Allen's historic anthology of that name. This is a full-length critical monograph on his work, placing it in the context not only of the San Francisco Renaissance and contemporary movements with which Spicer dialogued and often disagreed but also of the major modernists from whom his innovative poetics derived, differed, and developed.
