This bumper collection of interviews with poets of the New York School will delight newcomers as well as those who thought we knew the work. This sparkling cornucopia lets us learn from the contradictions and differing recollections, as well as the generosity of individual voices and their amazing life-histories. Indispensable.
- Geoff Ward, University of Cambridge,
The New York School of Poets has, since its inception, been centred on peoples' meeting, rubbing off on, knowing, collaborating with, being inspired by, and most of all talking to other people, many of whom happened to be artists and poets. In this vibrant and insightful collection, twenty-five New York School poets are given an opportunity to explore and define the milieu they wrote from and to shed light on their journeys through New York and through poetry. Collected over a three-year period, these fascinating and compelling conversations tackle, reframe and probe the question of what constitutes the New York School.
