Mad King, Signed (6 results)

8 x 5 1/2 in. perfect bound book, 32 pp. Long a boundary-crossing poet, Jerome Rothenberg joins here in a series of poems with drawings by Sadie Rothenberg. Flashes of high modernism collide with a richly-colored comic-strip sensibility, emerging elliptically as a response to the mad times in which we're living or, have likely always lived. Of Jerome Rothenberg's work over the years, Robert Kelly has written: "He is a great figure, who stands above and beyond the schools and tendentiousnesses of poetics; he has given us, in his poetry, criticism, translation, anthologies, a body of work that exhibits what I suddenly realize is an ethical purity, a touchstone for the genuine." Kenneth Rexroth, years before, states: "Jerome Rothenberg is one of the truly contemporary American poets who has returned U.S. poetry to the mainstream of international modern literature. At the same time he is a true auctochthon. Only here and now could have produced hima swinging orgy of Martin Buber, Marcel Duchamp, Gertrude Stein, and Sitting Bull. No one writing poetry today has dug deeper into the roots of poetry." Printed as a collaboration between Granary Books, Tibetan Kite Society, and TKS Books. Published in an edition of 300, of which 30 are lettered and signed by the poet and artist. This is from the regular edition.
