Extractions: Joe Amato Prelude I n what follows, I compare the work of a (very much alive) novelist with that of a (very much dead) poet. Specifically, I compare a recent (long) novel to a not-so-recent (long) poem. In doing so, I read what some will call "content" across two distinct literary genres. My reason for reading Richard Powers's The Gold Bug Variations over and against Louis Zukofsky's "A" Richard Powers is an accomplished novelist whose five (soon to be six) novels plumb the controversies, latent and teeming, inherent to our highly technological milieu. I daresay that, for most of my readers, Louis Zukofsky, though an equally accomplished poet, will be a somewhat less recognizable, and more inaccessible, figure. I hope to show why both authors warrant continued scrutiny, why the work of literature, and of reviewing literature as I propose, may be vital to sustaining our social ecologies. I have veered away from the biographical per se . Readers are advised to consult the Terrell anthology cited at essay's end for a fine account of "man and poet," as well as the more recent anthology of essays superbly edited by Scroggins. With regard to Powers's novels, I would simply observe (happily) that more and more critical essays exploring same are making their way into print (e.g., see Labinger). Which raises the issue of enabling technologies. One reason this piece is not

Extractions: 1 document case, .33 cu. ft., 11th floor Louis Zukofsky was born on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in 1904, to Russian immigrant parents. He was a self-termed objectivist poet: that is, he believed that the poem should call attention to itself on the page. His major influences included Pound, Eliot, and Shakespeare, and he was a devoted Marxist. His anthologies include All: The Collected Poems, 1923-1958 (1965) and A 1-12 (1959). Zukofsky died in 1978.

http://www.buffalo.edu/reporter/vol28/vol28n26/n3.html

Extractions: News Services Editor The University at Buffalo will present a celebration of the work of modernist poetic genius Louis Zukofsky on April 25 and 26 designed to illuminate various aspects of the poet's life, work and considerable importance as a writer. All events will be free of charge and open to the public. One of the century's most influential and daring literary figures, Zukofsky was a prolific writer little known to the general public because of the experimental, non-canonical nature of his work. His effect upon contemporary American literature has been nonetheless profound, emphasizing as it does the dissonance, melody and contradiction inherent in 20th-century American culture and language. The Louis Zukofsky Conference was organized by poet Robert Creeley, Samuel P. Capen Professor of Poetry and the Humanities at UB, who counts Zukofsky as one of the major influences on his work. Events will feature readings and discussions by Zukofsky scholars that include: He will join Zukofsky's biographer, Ira Nadel, professor at the University of British Columbia, and poet Mark Scroggins in a panel discussion from 2:30-4:30 p.m. on Friday, April 25, in the Poetry/Rare Books Room. Nadel is the author of a recent biography of Leonard Cohen.

Reproduced by permission / (c) Cid Corman, literary executor for Lorine Niedecker. Page edited by Jenny Penberthy and typeset by Patrick F. Durgin May, 2002. Zukofsky's arrangement is as clean in form as its criticism and the good examples of poetry it offers. It is appraised correctly on the jacket of the book by Clifton Fadiman, Mark Van Doren and William Carlos Williams. Distilled excellence, rich portions from the poets from Homer thru the present, some of these difficult poetry is not soft supported by Zukofsky's precise interpretive remarks. "The lines of poetry of great emotional significance in any age are rare. To obtain, therefore, an accurate criticism of them and of the lesser work which surrounds them, reading should not shun analysis." To read for pleasure, that is the aim here. Poetry out of the "living processes" of everyday and from there "to always another phase of existence" the world needs it. What makes certain lines of poetry good and others not so good? Part II, the pivot for the entire book, begins so far as Zukofsky's remarks are concerned: "A simple order of speech is an asset in poetry." Next, in that section, regarding William Morris' roundabout translation of Homer: "He is piling it on thin." And we're off. Parts I and III offer more examples of good poetry, but without comment or authors' signatures to add to the zest of a lovely game. A turn to the chronological chart shows the full use of an index with titles, authors, dates when supplemented by standards such as "content," "emotion," "inevitability," "measure." A book for the general sensitive reader in classroom and out.

http://www.cprw.com/Rother/Zukofsky.htm

Extractions: To the reader: This is to be about the early collection of Zukofskys shorter poems and not the splendid later edition, assembled by Paul Zukofsky and with a Foreword by Robert Creeley, that was published by Johns Hopkins University Press and appeared in 1991, 13 years after the poets death. The two-volume edition that will be the subject of discussion here does not contain the Catullus 80 Flowers (1974-78), or Gamut (1978). Unlike its author, this collection was very much of its time, as opposed to the later Complete Shorter Poetry , which is at once of no time and of all. And a further, concluding note: Throughout the course of what follows certain liberties have been taken with typography and layout that might at first strike the alert as misprints or even solecisms. That an excursus on a subject as arcane as the verse of Louis Zukofsky might contain suspect fittings from the toolkit of contemporary American prose should surprise no one, given the fact that much of the poetry I discuss in the book (of which this essay will form a part) helped bring down the prescriptive grammatical cartel that governed American writing for generations and bequeathed to us such boilerplates as that favored by the Modern Language Association and other like-minded afflatuses of academic prose.

http://www.flashpointmag.com/zukof.htm

Extractions: A Test of Poetry , a 1948 Objectivist Press book, Zuk's probing collection (perhaps seen as his 'ABC of Reading') that shows rather than argues, presents rather than alludes. Its method is far ahead of its time, still challenging; it prefigures many post-modern strategies. "The test of poetry," writes Zukofsky in the preface, is the range of pleasure it affords as sight, sound, and intellection. This is its purpose as art. But readers have rarely been presented with comparative standards to quicken their judgments: 'comparative' in the sense that the matter with which poems deal may be compared. To suggest standards is the purpose of this book. By presenting for comparison several translations of the same passage from Homer, an elegy of Ovid and lines from Herrick that read like an adaptation of Ovid, or a fifteenth century poem about a cock and a recent poem about white chickens, and so on, a means for judging the values of poetic writing is established by the examples themselves.

Extractions: "A" and Complete Shorter Poems at any one time simultaneously. Much could be said concerning the buying policies of large bookstore chains; the fact is, I haven't seen a copy of Scroggins' book since. And that is unfortunate, as his is a model book of criticism, one both useful and enjoyable, a rare thing when dealing with - as Scroggins has written while praising Bruce Comens' work on Zuk - a 'notoriously "difficult" poet'. In a century during which poetry saw itself losing most of the cultural prestige that it once enjoyed, saw itself rapidly losing cultural ground to the increasingly powerful physical and technological sciences, Louis Zukofsky, in both his poetry and his critical writings, advanced a vision of his poetry as the human construction most capable of giving us reliable knowledge both of the world in which we live and of ourselves. That knowledge is for him bound up with poetry's formal essence, which is in turn bound up with the notion of music - an ideally formal art. The knowledge that his poetry imparts, then, can be described as "musical" knowledge. (p.7) At this point it seems that Scroggins has written a fairly straight-forward dissertation; but he is not finished: "While this thesis will be qualified and complicated in the pages to come, it remains the theme underlying all the variations and divagations of the book as a whole" (ibid.). Variations and divagations indeed! Scroggins badgers into his subject, showing the multifarious aspects of Zukofsky, yet at no point does the reader feel lost; no matter how 'complicated' things become, they at all times remain clear.
Louis Zukofsky And The Transformation Of A Modern American Poeti

Extractions: "An excellent and original study of a crucial twentieth-century American poet."James Breslin, author of From Modern to Contemporary: American Poetry, 1945 to 1965 DESCRIPTION (back to top) Viewing Louis Zukofsky as a reader, writer, and innovator of twentieth-century poetry, Sandra Stanley argues that his works serve as a crucial link between American modernism and post- modernism. Like Ezra Pound, Zukofsky saw himself as a participant in the transformation of a modern American poetics; but unlike Pound, Zukofsky, the ghetto-born son of an immigrant Russian Jew, was keenly aware of his marginal position in society. Championing the importance of the little words, such as a and the , Zukofsky effected his own proletarian "revolution of the word." Stanley explains how Zukofsky emphasized the materiality of language, refusing to reduce it to a commodity controlled by an "authorial/authoritarian" self. She also describes his legacy to contemporary poets, particularly such Language poets as Ron Silliman and Charles Bernstein.

Extractions: The Jargon Society The Jargon Society? Musings for the season! What's new? What's in the works? ... LOUIS ZUKOFSKY The Grand Old Mandarin of Willow Street, Brooklyn Heights, about 1958. How very long ago that seems. Robert Duncan began beating drums in my ear in 1954 about how I should print this extraordinary poet. And Jargon did perhaps its loveliest book, Some Time, a book of LZ's shorter poems, in 1956. A Japanese book, printed in Stuttgart by the printshop of Dr. Walter Cantz, with uncut pages and a string binding. Just right! Colors like a plum orchard. By the 1960s we somehow fell out of sympathy. The Zuk seemed to resent any book we published that didn't have his name on the spine. (He is hardly the first and only one to do that.) I didn't like all the kvetching and didn't behave nicely in return. I don't like to think about it. I like to think I can handle yentas better than the ornery Baptists in my heritage, particularly when they write drek and LZ writes like an angel on so many occasions. What a country. In 1999 one person in a million has heard of Louis Zukofsky. Michael Jackson sure hasn't. Mike Tyson, born again (and again and again) hasn't. Bubba hasn't. Trent Lott hasn't. Elton hasn't. The English Department at Harvard hasn't. We live in a nation of hasn't, and of those who couldn't possibly want to know. A most distinguished man. He could pop your clogs and wreck your head. And dumfound you with the simplest of beauties.
