About this book
A COLLECTION OF UNPUBLISHED POEMS FROM ONE OF THE MOST DISTINCTIVE POETIC VOICES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY of an evening real as paint on canvas. The kind that makes me ache to have the gift for dusting off clichs: not make it new but see it hear it freshly. The context (good morrow havent we met in this context before?) in which squelch a brush lifted a load of pigment from the thick glass palette and concentrated as though he saw neither the work in hand nor the subject the painter began. from "A Blue Shadow Painting" Other Flowers brings together 165 unseen poems from James Schuyler one of the twentieth centurys most acclaimed writers. This carefully arranged edition presents a broad range of Schuylers work spanning from the early 1950s until his death in 1991. These poems exhibit Schuylers virtuosity in drawing from real life interpersonal history nature and pop culture to create reverberant portraits of the everyday. To read these poems is to rediscover the fresh clarity and grandeur of even the smallest things. Other Flowers confirms Schuylers status as one of the most important figures in contemporary poetics.
