This volume in the Collected Writings of Robert Duncan series gathers a farreaching selection of Robert Duncan’s prose writings including most of his longer and more wellknown essays along with other prose that has never been widely available. Ranging in original publication dates between 1940 and 1985, the fortyone titles reveal a great deal about Duncan’s life in poetry—including his impressions of poets whose work he admires, both contemporaries and precursors. Evocative and eclectic, this work delineates the intellectual contexts and sources of Duncan’s poetics, and opens a window onto the literary communities in which he participated.
