Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A Poet's Mind reveals an unsung hero of American poetry in his own words. A thoughtful, engaging, and often funny reference for college students, scholars, and poets, this book will also be an excellent introduction for general readers to meet this quiet titan of the poetry world.Robert Duncan (1919-1988), one of the major postwar American poets, was an adulated figure among his contemporaries, including Robert Creeley, Charles Olson, and Denise Levertov. Lawrence Ferlinghetti remarked that Duncan "had the best ear this side of Dante." His stature is increasingly recognized as comparable to that of Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, H.D., and Louis Zukofsky.Like his poetry, Duncan's conversation is generative and multi-directional, pushing out the boundaries of discourse. His recorded reflections are a means of discovery and exploration, and whether talking with a college student or a fellow poet, he was fully engaged and open to new thoughts as they emerged. The exchanges in this book are exciting and lively.His vast and wide-ranging knowledge offers readers an increased understanding of the interrelations of the arts, history, psychology, and science; those who would like to learn about Duncan's own life, his bravery in being an out gay man well before Stonewall, and his friendships with fellow writers, such as Charles Olson, Jack Spicer, and Kenneth Rexroth, will find this book richly rewarding.The six volumes of Duncan's collected writings are being issued by the University of California Press. The collected interviews are an indispensable companion to these books, providing an in-depth exposition of his poetics, which center on the belief that the poem is "a medium for the life of the spirit." In A Poet's Mind, he describes the genesis of some of his works, including that of books, essays, and individual poems, and also discusses gay love and life, along with the many diverse influences on his work. Ducan's fertile creative mind is also evident in these conversations: often coming back to Ezra Pound in these conversations, he gives one of the clearest expositions to be found anywhere on the scope and meaning of The Cantos. This volume also includes a number of photographs never before published.

In an era of unacceptance, these men formed one of the most fascinating artistic partnerships of the 20th century. At the epicenter of a remarkable circle of friends, Jess and Duncan shared an enduring, collaborative genius that inspired and changed the creative vision of a generation of artists and writers. This is the first exhibition to explore the couple's artistic production and relationship. Through more than 140 individual and collaborative works of art and personal letters drawn from private and public collections, this exhibition also looks at their influence and unique position as precursors of Postmodernism. This companion catalogue includes essays by William Breazeale, Ph.D., curator at the Crocker Art Museum, as well as guest curators Michael Duncan and Christopher Wagstaff." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: An opening of the field: Jess, Robert Duncan, and their circle, by Michael Duncan; "This here other world": the art of Robert Duncan and Jess, by Christopher Wagstaff; Gallery of works by Jess and Robert Duncan; Paste-ups by Jess: a reading in the labyrinth, by William Breazeale; Poetry as primary community: Duncan, Spicer, Blaser, McClure, Olson, Levertov, and Creeley, by James Maynard; Circle of artists.
