I can't say I found the poetry in this volume thrilling. I found a couple of poets I might look into further. Most of them I was always familiar with and have never taken a particular liking to, with the exceptions of Levertov and Ferlinghetti. So this book was something of a slog for me, but I did read it all. The selections are generous for some poets: 20 pages for Ginsberg and Duncan, over 30 for Olson and O'Hara. I also found the statements on poetics disappointing.
What I ended up treasuring most in this anthology was the biographical notes in the back. Some of them are the trim statements we've become accustomed to and some are entirely unleashed. Gregory Corso's is two and a half confessional pages. Robert Duncan's is a four page full biography in brief. Peter Orlovsky's contains a good deal of silliness ("I want the moon for fun").
I'm glad to have this anthology on my shelf and would recommend it to anyone with an affection for or curiosity about that period in the history of American poetry.… (plus d'informations)
