Frank Stanford – What About This
Only 1 left in stock

Michael Ondaatje writes of this volume: “Frank Stanford died in 1978, but his writing has been almost a secret or an unknown force in American Poetry. So it is wondrous to see this first big collection and to discover the range and power of his work that belongs somewhere between the blue yodels of Jimmie Rodgers and the electric blues of Arthur Big Boy Crudup and in the youthful company of Shelley. His poems can leap from a levee to an eyelash in half a line.” The poetry of Frank Stanford is decidedly local, Southern, rural, consumed by dreams, and saturated with a hunger for justice, love, and death. Vehemently romantic, his poems are enlivened by the poor and the held-down and -apart. The young, the wild, and the disenfranchised guide it toward transcendence.
Cooper Canyon Press, 2015 Hardcover Edition. Some wear to boards/scuffing to edges of pages.
