Edited with Commentaries by Jerome and Diane Rothenberg: First Edition, 1984. Black cloth with gilt lettering to spine. ``This volume traces a discourse on poetry and culture which has profoundly influenced the art of our times, with precedents going back two centuries and more. The attempt to define an ethnopoetics has been significantly connected with the most experimental and future-directed side of Romantic and modern poetry, both in the Western world and, increasingly, outside it. As a visionary poetics and as a politics, this complex redefinition of cultural and intellectual values has invlved a rarely acknoledged collaboration between poets and scholars, who together have challenged the narrow view of literature which has excluded so many traditions, including the ideas and manifestos of Vico, Blake, Thoreau, Tzara, Olson, Eliad
