"Here is poetry that reminds its readers that a poem is as much a crucible of thinking as it is a crucible of belief, that philosophical doubt and mythic vision do not oppose each other, but are contradictions in which world turns around to become word."--Dan Beachy-Quick, author of "This Nest "

Seller's Description:
Berkeley. 2010. April 2010. University of California Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780520262447. 136 pages. paperback. keywords: Contemporary Poetry. FROM THE PUBLISHER-The poems in this selection were chosen from seven full-length manuscripts spanning nearly 60 years. Moore's ties w/Rexroth, the Beats, & Spicer were important to the development of his thought & poetry, but Moore's voice is all his own. The poem 'A Reminiscence' records one aspect of his friendship w/Rexroth in delicately rhymed quatrains, describing an autumn walk by the Russian River in the 40s. Although his work from the 50s & 60s shows affinities w/that of Duncan & Spicer, in poems like 'The Parachutist's Annunciation'Moore's style is eclectic, hard to characterize. And in poems describing nature--e.g., 'Driving to Fort Bragg'--often set along the wild Northern California coast, references to time & history open the poems in surprising ways. Moore developed a signature poetic style: open, spare verse that foregrounds philosophical enquiry. His poetry reflects aspects of his involvement w/the collective consciousness & the idea of language as the intersection of private & public space. His poetry has continued to reflect the values & eclectic free-verse styles of the SF Renaissance writers: a growing interest in experimental lyric; a blend of traditional rhymes w/unfettered prose-poetry ('Columbia 1960'); and a growing interest in the philosophy of language as subject & method. inventory #37626.
