"A" (New Directions Books)
- Used Book in Good Condition
The new, authoritative edition of â€œAâ€: the monumental lifepoem by one of the most important American poets of the twentieth century, Louis Zukofsky.
Â Â Â Â Â River that must turn full after I stop dying
Â Â Â Â Â Song, my song, raise grief to music
Â Â Â Â Â Light as my lovesâ€™ thought, the few sick
Â Â Â Â Â So sick of wrangling: thus weeping,
Â Â Â Â Â Sounds of light, stay in her keeping
Â Â Â Â Â And my sonâ€™s face â€“ this much for honor
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â â€” from â€œ â€˜Aâ€™-11â€

At long last, here is the whole of Louis Zukofskyâ€™s epic masterpiece â€œAâ€ back in print with misprints corrected and a new, fresh introduction by the noted scholar Barry Ahearn. No other poem in the English language is filled with as much daily love, light, intellect, and music. As William Carlos Williams once wrote of Zukofskyâ€™s poetry, â€œI hear a new music of verse stretching out into the future.â€
