The letters of Robert Duncan and Denise Levertov by
Robert Duncan(
Book
)
11 editions published between 2003 and 2004 in English and held by 467 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"This volume presents the complete correspondence between two of the most important and influential American poets of the postwar period. The almost 500 letters range widely over the poetry scene and the issues that made the period so lively and productive. But what gives the exchange its special personal and literary resonance is the sense of spiritual affinity and shared conviction about the power of the visionary imagination. Duncan and Levertov explore these matters in rich detail until, under the stress of dealing with the Vietnam War in poetry, they discover deep-seated differences in the religious and ethical convictions underlying their politics and poetic stance. The issues that drew them together and those that drove them apart create a powerful personal drama with far-reaching historical and cultural significance. The editors have provided a critical introduction, full notes, a chronology, and a glossary of names."--Back cover

A selected prose by
Robert Edward Duncan(
Book
)
6 editions published in 1995 in English and Undetermined and held by 334 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
A Selected Prose represents the most wide-ranging collection to date of Robert Duncan's essays and talks and is a companion volume to the Selected Poems (1993). Editor Robert J. Bertholf has taken three core essays from Fictive Certainties (1985), an earlier prose collection that was limited to works written after 1955; to these have been added a variety of Duncan's writings on contemporary artists and such fellow poets as Ezra Pound, Marianne Moore, Louis Zukofsky, Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, Denise Levertov, and Jack Spicer. Included as well are "Rites of Participation," an excerpt from the still unpublished "H.D. Book"; a long meditation on Edmond Jabes' The Book of Questions, and a revised version of Duncan's controversial and provocative essay of 1944, "The Homosexual in Society."

Selected poems by
Robert Duncan(
Book
)
4 editions published in 1997 in English and held by 302 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Duncan, like Dante, was a poet of cosmic imagination, intensely aware of his and poetry's role in the ever-expanding logos of creation. His Selected Poems, first published in 1993, is a "useful and portable compilation," says critic Tom Clark, that "provides the most comprehensive available look at the career of the Bay Area's greatest lyric poet." Editor Robert J. Bertholf has enlarged the original collection to include eleven additional poems and excerpts. The second edition of the Selected Poems fully fleshes out the retrospective of works chosen from the whole of Duncan's writing life. From his early poems through his final Ground Work volumes, as well as his serial poems, "Structures of Rime" and "Passages," composed over the course of thirty years, there emerges a prophetic voice of great perception

Drawing from life by
Joel Oppenheimer(
Book
)
2 editions published in 1997 in English and held by 136 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Alternately philosopher, sports commentator, sociologist, and political pundit, Oppenheimer was a writer whose work was infused with a jubilation for life in all its diversity. In the sixteen years he was a columnist for The Village Voice he painted a portrait of an era that was profoundly affecting a generation of young people and that ultimately changed the country. Underlying all of Oppenheimer's thinking and writing was a clear moral vision - rooted in the need to live an informed and caring existence - whether he was writing about parenting, life in Greenwich Village, or the cycle of the seasons. Joel wrote "Oppenheimer's Kvetch" from 1969-1984. His work as a columnist was not driven by the editorial vision of the Voice editors; he was afforded the independence to determine his own subject and the freedom to express his own views
