Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The key book by the internationally celebrated poet with the only Polish ghettohassidiccowboy and Indian American comic voice (Robert Duncan) in history. For the last half of the twentieth century into the new millennium, no other American poet has been as deeply engaged in the opening of the poem (its boundaries and its possibilities) as Jerome Rothenberg. As editor, translator, essayist, performer, groundbreaking anthologist, one of the founding figures of enthnopoetics, and most significantly, as poet, Rothenberg has remapped the art against the grain of a single great tradition. Reminiscent of H.D.s Trilogy, Triptych assembles three long serial poems into one multilayered sacred text. Like Kafkas America, Calvinos Euphemia, and Babels Odessa, Rothenbergs Poland in Poland/1931, first published in 1974, is a poland stuffed with poland / brought in the imagination. Fifteen years later, Poland materializes into Khurbn (a Yiddish word meaning destruction, holocaust, human disaster), a poem summoned from the authors visit to his ancestral town, OstrowMazowiecka, and the confrontation with his familys annihilationincluding an uncle who killed himselfduring World War II. Allowing my uncles khurbn to speak through me the author writes, the poems are the clearest message I have ever gotten about why I write poetry. And now in 2006, The Burning Babe rises out of the furnace of khurbn, reaching through the ruins / for a place to soar.
