I tend to have one author or anthology going at all times as a kind of marginal supplement to my main reading focus. Indeed, that is how I initially approached this volume. Very quickly, however, I found all my other reading displaced by this intelligent and inspired collection of verse, which spans the most significant pre-World War II movements in poetry. The selection of poets and the deft commentary by Jerome Rothenberg and Pierre Joris are so well accomplished I was actually a little disappointed when I came to the end of this 800 page tome. Fortunately there are two more volumes picking up where this one leaves off. I really can't recommend this enough to anyone. Really, any reader. Not just poetry geeks. Not only do I think poetry is dangerously undervalued in our current educational structure (I'm looking at you, streamlined science/engineering major) and therefore, should be encouraged at every turn, but even a cursory reading of this anthology will leave the reader with a greater sense of poetry's importance (necessity) in the intellectual development of the world but also its intermingled origins and correspondence with more popular main stream movements. This book is that good. It takes a poet like Gertrude Stein and drops her in the midst of a context that makes works like Tender Buttons not seem so out of reach or discouraging. Read this book. It will open up entire worlds for you. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
As we come to the end of the century, the entire vista of modern poetry has dramatically changed. Poems for the Millennium captures the essence of that change, and unlike any anthology available today, it reveals the revolutionary concepts at the very heart of twentieth-century poetry. International in its coverage, these volumes depart from the established poetic modes that grew out of the nineteenth century and instead bring together the movements that radically altered the ways that art and language express the human condition. The first volume offers three "galleries" of individual poets--figures such as Mallarmé, Stein, Rilke, Tzara, Mayakovsky, Pound, H.D., Vallejo, Artaud, Césaire, and Tsvetayeva. Included, too, are sections dedicated to some of the most significant pre-World War II movements in poetry and the other arts: Futurism, Expressionism, Dada, Surrealism, Objectivism, and Negritude. The second volume will extend the gathering to the present, forming a synthesizing, global anthology that surpasses other collections in its international scope and experimental range. Poet-editors Jerome Rothenberg and Pierre Joris provide informative and irreverent commentaries throughout. They challenge old truths and propose alternative directions, in the tradition of the revolutionary manifestos that have marked the art and poetry of the twentieth century. The result is both an essential source book for experiencing the full range of this century's poetic possibilities and a powerful statement on the future of poetry in the millennium ahead.
