Transcendental Studies: A Trilogy

Keith Waldrop · 2009 CE · Poem · Modern / American · Contemporary

Three sequences of collage poems are built from sentences taken from other writers and rearranged into new stanzas, so that quotation becomes a form of composing. No story runs through them. An experimental lyric work, admitted for the 2009 National Book Award.
