Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. Essays. NO HIERARCHY OF THE LOVELY celebrates the hundredth anniversary of the birth of the poet Robert Duncan, a key figure of the San Francisco Renaissance and the Black Mountain school of poetry, by recognizing his accomplishments as a prose writer. Comprised of ten texts published throughout each of the six decades of his writing, this volume brings together a wide variety of Duncan's uncollected prose. As for their content, these writings touch upon some of the larger issues in poetry and poetics that Duncan explored throughout the course of his life. Together, they demonstrate the challenge that Duncan's work still presents for anyone who would be a "serious reader" of "creative events" and his continuing reminder of the need "to keep open and vulnerable the boundaries of our imagination in the universe."

"If 'I can't breathe' seems to have become the awful refrain of the age, a repeated corroboration of expendability and helplessness, Mackey reminds us that black culture has long been imbued with a profound sense of the fragility of life. The 'radical pneumaticism' of black musicóin which saxophonists such as Ben Webster and Sonny Rollins extravagantly foreground the mechanics of their breathing as they play, as though to 'insist upon and belabor' the indispensability of respirationóis not only an aesthetics but also a political commentary on social precarity. Compact and muted as it may be, how can Mackey's lecture be described as anything other than breathtaking, when it forces us to 'hover,' to pause, to wonder at the 'transient boon' of the next breath we're about to take?"--Brent Hayes Edwards Poetry. African & African American Studies.
