Active Boundaries
Selected Essays and Talks (New Directions Paperbook)
by Michael Palmer
"A lifetime engagement with poetry shines through this distinguished collection of essays and talks that spans nearly thirty years. Active Boundaries by Michael Palmer offers readers an intimate, phosphorescent view into the poetry behind the poetry that, as Robert Creeley once noted, "makes possible a place where words initially engage their meanings - as if the edge of all 'creations, ' of all 'worlds'." With philosophical grace and conversational ease, Palmer unearths a vanguardist tradition in poetry that permeates languages and cultures, centuries and histories.
He investigates an "active boundary" as it relates to a sense of form as well as, Palmer writes, "to a more social sense of poetic activity as it exists in the margins, along the borders and, so to speak, 'underground'.""--Jacket.
