Coolidge's legendary proliferation - as many as 10 sonnets in a single day - marries the stunning variety of his intellect, on the mountaintop of formal inquiry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLIBRARY OF HAY \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo slow death oft the onyx dolls \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eeach in its own lab colors rollicking encores \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewho's there? do you want your museum \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eroom infiltrated? only the singing parts \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eterrible loss of air raid powder \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eentanglements poled on kapok \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe last to be heard? this ploy of dolls \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eirradiated heads and curls of coffin wood \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edeath is always plural here? stolid \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eanyway someway still enters the frontway \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethrough the water door to Manikin Lake \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe throttles held down there you went to \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehair school against my wisdom thus the \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eremnants spelled out there then coded there \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eARCANE HEMISPHERES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomething is wrong with the literature of this blood \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emaybe a tool baron? help must be brought \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto light this legend take the taxis away \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eclear the blocks I will have all flesh riven \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003egestural lengths of shadow and echo bulk \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe Armbruster is the name of the monster this time \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebut I don't anymore take it that anything! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe vestibules beyond the outer rooms will tell the tale \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUncle Cecropio you may dust my broom \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epalest crystal master what is dead must remain \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebeyond the alternate fleshlike regions let it go \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtoo will find us out heard a cry in the mirror \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elocated in the funnies but so graceless in class \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe whole night shines a brass hole in my tongue \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClark Coolidge was born in Providence, Rhode Island. Though associated with the Language Poets, his work predates the movement and despite close contact with many of them he remains distinct from any movement, literary or political. His primary literary influences are Rilke, Beckett, and Kerouac, but jazz, geology, and painting also play a large part. This poetic purist shares with many avant-garde artists of the 1950s and 1960s the belief that art is discovery, and so creates an exploratory 'improvisational momentum' in its composition which aims to 'tell the story that has never been thought before' in a writing which is itself the primary focus, rather than its subject matter. The author of more than 20 books of verse and prose, including \u003ci\u003eOwn Face, At Egypt, The Crystal Text, The Maintains, Solution Passage, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMine: One That Enters the Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, he is also the editor of \u003ci\u003ePhilip Guston: Collected Writings, Lectures, and Conversations\u003c\/i\u003e (The Documents of Twentieth-Century Art), 2010.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Fence Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51243439456530,"sku":"9781934200612","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_35d5c52d-f64c-4baf-96c1-dbb25c8dd636.jpg?v=1745862964","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/88-sonnets-poems-9781934200612","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
