Book Synopsis
Collects the commentary of the later years and last days of one of America's most powerful and unique poets. This book synthesizes the author's views on poetic experimentation, the distinction between consciousness and sensibility, and ""heretical"" intellection, which is to say the components of his poetics of aggression.

Trade Review
Ed Dorn's achievement has been to create single-handedly a language of public reference, and to have brought within the sphere of expressive language and poetic experience objects and feelings which had been, literally, unimaginable in those terms. It is in this context that he is one of the masters of our contemporary language. - Peter Ackroyd ""Ed was one of the most thoughtful but penetrating thinkers. There was no PollyAnna in him at all. And that's what I liked about him."" - Amiri Baraka
