Tales Out of School: Selected Interviews (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780472065363)

Since the publication of Robert Creeley's first book of poems, Le Fou, more than forty years ago, he has emerged as one of the most important and original voices in contemporary poetry. Tales Out of School selects five extended interviews that point to Creeley's artistic influences and reveal the subjects that have preoccupied the poet's imagination. The interviews cover a range of themes, including Creeley's childhood and early writing, the influence of jazz on his work, the history of the Black Mountain School, the relationship of geography to the creative process, and the influences and friendship of other poets, including Pound, Williams, Ginsberg, Levertov, Duncan, and Olson. Taken together, the interviews provide an active context for and complement an understanding of this significant and prolific poet's achievement.
