Lost & Found: The CUNY Poetics Document Initiative, Series 2

Literary Nonfiction. Poetry History & Criticism. Poetics. LOST & FOUND features extra-poetic work—correspondence, journals, critical prose, and lecture transcripts—by New American Poets, with their precursors and followers. SERIES 2 features Diane di Prima's Mysteries of Vision: Some Notes on H.D. and R.D.'S H.D. (on Robert Duncan); a lecture on Charles Olson by Robert Duncan; selections from El Corno Emplumado by Margaret Randall; selections from Muriel Rukeyser's Spanish Civil War archive; and Jack Spicer's Beowulf. Edited, annotated, and with accompanying essays, Bob Holman has said "These books are gems. The idea is genius." Diane di Prima has called the series "a gold mine" and Joanne Kyger writes: "What a brilliant cast of characters. Just exactly what one (myself) would like to read." Presented as an integrated set of chapbooks, LOST & FOUND is essential reading that proposes new and alternative versions of literary and cultural history.
