I've always been a Roger Shattuck Fan. I have Banquet Years
which is still on of the best descriptions of both Jarry and the painter Le Douanier, Rousseau. I have his book on Forbidden Writings as well. I'm trying to get this entire set of little poetry books from UT Austin Press. They are all hardbacks and illustrated with woodcuts, and I thought it would be neat to see them all together.. The poetry maybe isn't topnotch, or might be a little boring, but this Shattuck volume seems to be the best one, maybe. The Letters of Holderlin, Crane, and Rimbaud isn't bad either, though strange. Is this any good?
I can't tell..
The quarried egg with open veins
sings yellow in the dusk
or
flesh-tight peaches
I don't know. It took me about half an hour to read
slowly. Roger Shattuck is pretty interesting.
