Description

Bending the Bow by Robert Duncan explores the relationship between form and meaning in poetry. This collection forms part of an open series that examines how ideas, forces, and persons are created within language itself. Duncan draws upon various influences, including American poets such as Pound, Williams, and Olson, to create a unique mode of poetry that emphasizes the significance of form as an event in process. The chronological composition of Bending the Bow reflects this approach, with poems arranged to demonstrate how forms move within and interpenetrate one another. The collection includes narrative bridges, translations, and individual poems that showcase Duncan's exploration of meaning and experience.
