The Letters of Robert Duncan and Denise Levertov

This volume presents the complete correspondence between two of the most important and influential American poets of the postwar period. The almost 500 letters range widely over the poetry scene and the issues that made the period so lively and productive. But what gives the exchange its special personal and literary resonance is the sense of spiritual affinity and shared conviction about the power of the visionary imagination. Duncan and Levertov explore these matters in rich detail until, under the stress of dealing with the Vietnam War in poetry, they discover deep-seated differences in the religious and ethical convictions underlying their politics and poetic stance. The issues that drew them together and those that drove them apart create a powerful personal drama with far-reaching historical and cultural significance. The editors have provided a critical Introduction, full notes, a chronology, and a glossary of names.

Robert Bertholf and Annette Levitt have assembled thirteen essays that establish Blake as a “central voice molding modern literature and thought.” The essays in this volume examine Blake’s influence on modern poetry, the modern novel, and modern thought from various critical approaches. This collection maps out the lines of direct literary influences and indirect intellectual affinities that make up the tradition of enacted form. Through the use of various aspects of Blake’s form and ideas, this book reasserts the idea of continuity, the drive for wholeness, and the arrival of new poetic forms.Blake is considered one of the major and most modern of Romantics. This collection positions him as a precursor of the modern, using his vision and poetry as a base for discussing a central issue in literary theory today―influence and the literary tradition―just how is the legacy of a literary artist passed on, and how is it resurrected in the works of subsequent generations.

Poetry. Lyman Gilmore's biography of Joel Oppenheimer, Don't Touch the Poet, says Robert Bertholf, "made me realize again how much I loved Joel, and how much fun I had being around him." REMEMBERING JOEL OPPENHEIMER is in turn the record of a deep personal friendship as well as a study of the work of one of the major Black Mountain poets. Robert J Bertholf edited Oppenheimer's Collected Later Poems. He is also the editor of, among others, Selected Poems of Robert Duncan, From This Condensery (selected poems of Lorine Neidecker), A Great Admiration H.D./Robert Duncan Correspondence 1950-1961, and (with David Landrey), a volume of works by Oppenheimer, Drawing from Life.. Formerly curator for the Poetry/Rare Books Collection at the State University of New York at Buffalo, Bertholf is currently the Charles D Abbott Scholar-In-Residence at that university.
