{"product_id":"seedings-and-other-poems-jerome-rothenberg-9780811213318","title":"Seedings and Other Poems","description":"Jerome Rothenberg holds a premier place in the American avant-garde. The poems in \u003cem\u003eSeedings\u003c\/em\u003e, his newest collection, leap across history. Past and future become entwined, and the intricate paths reaching from one century and one millennium into another double back into timelessness (\"as the twentieth century winds down\/the nineteenth century begins\/again\"). The long title poem that opens this fin-de-siecle gathering is, appropriately, a celebration of poets and friends--such as Robert Duncan, George Oppen, and Paul Blackburn--who have entered what Rothenberg calls \"a Paradise of Poets.\" \"Seedings\" is followed by four other sections, \"Improvisations\" is a series of high-energy poems in a mode of open writing characteristic of much of the poet's experimental work, while \"Twentieth Century Unlimited\" is an assemblage of travel poems and personal observations. \"An Oracle for Delfi\" revisits and sees anew a classical landscape long the inheritance of Western poets. A final sequence, \"14 Stations,\" joins the concise verbal techniques of gematria (traditional Hebrew numerology) with the stark agonies of the Holocaust last explored by Rothenberg in \u003cem\u003eKhurbn \u0026amp; Other Poems\u003c\/em\u003e (1989).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jerome Rothenberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0811213315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811213318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.94h x 5.22w x 0.37d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/26\/1996 pg. 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/1996 pg. 205\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/1996 pg. 83","brand":"Jerome Rothenberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44149199536383,"sku":"9780811213318","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e6488d9-bf4b-426f-9683-94584b616a43.jpg?v=1688455374","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seedings-and-other-poems-jerome-rothenberg-9780811213318","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
