Synopsis
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."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. William Carlos Williams valued Charles Tomlinson's poetry: `He has divided his line according to a new measure learned, perhaps, for a new world. It gives a refreshing rustle or seething to the words which bespeak the entrance of a new life.' Of all the poets of his generation, Charles Tomlinson was most alert to English and translated poetry from other worlds. The Mexican poet Octavio Paz admired how he saw `the world as event. He is fascinated - with his eyes open: a lucid fascination - by the universal busyness, the continuous generation and degeneration of things.' Tomlinson's take on the world is sensuous; it is also deeply thoughtful, even metaphysical. He spoke of `sensuous cerebration' as a way of being in the world. His poems are always experimenting with impression and expression. This dynamic selection, edited by the poet and Ted Hughes Award winner David Morley, presents Tomlinson to a new generation of readers. A poet of England and abroad, nature and history, is acknowledged as a classic. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
