Louis Zukofsky: Man and Poet
“Carroll F. Terrell’s careful editing of this volume . . . transforms the difficulties the poet and thinker proposed into pleasurable clarities. The bibliography of critical pieces on Zukofsky is especially useful.”
鈥擬ichael Heller, New York Times Book Review
“Terrell’s double aim, to bring new readers to Zukofsky’s work and to the world of controversy which has grown around it, succeeds admirably. Louis Zukofsky: Man and Poet will be a pivotal critical text….”
