Talking (American Literature (Dalkey Archive))

TALKING bridges the stylistic gap betweem David Antin's early experimental poems and the "talk poems" for which he is most well-known. Combining one poem with two improvisations and his first published talk-poem, TALKING is a unique book that cannot be classified as solely poetry, fiction or criticism. Infusing the lyricism of poetry with the compelling pull of the spoken voice, this collection is a testament to David Antin's reputation as one of the most influential artists of the contemporary era.
