Lost & Found: The CUNY Poetics Document Initiative, Series III (Paperback, Annotated edition)

Literary Nonfiction. Poetry History & Criticism. Poetics. LOST & FOUND features extra-poetic work--correspondence, journals, critical prose, and lecture transcripts--by New American Poets, with their precursors and followers. SERIES 3 includes Langston Hughes, Nancy Cunard, Louise Thompson, Lorine Niedecker, John Wieners, Charles Olson, Diane di Prima, Edward Dorn, Michael Rumaker, and Joanne Kyger. Edited, annotated, and with accompanying essays, Bob Holman has said, "These books are gems. The idea is genius." Diane di Prima has called the series "a gold mine" and Joanne Kyger writes: "What a brilliant cast of characters. Just exactly what one (myself) would like to read." Presented as an integrated set of chapbooks, LOST & FOUND is essential reading that proposes new and alternative versions of literary and cultural history.
