Description
J.H. Prynne's Poems is a landmark collection that fundamentally questions the possibilities of poetry. First published in 1999, it was immediately acclaimed and nominated for a New Yorker book prize. This expanded third edition, released in 2015, includes the complete texts of his later work, offering a unique perspective on language and meaning. The collection features some of Prynne's most significant works, including Refuse Collection, To Pollen, STREAK WILLING ENTOURAGE ARTESIAN, Sub Songs, Kazoo Dreamboats; or, On What There Is, and Al-Dente. These poems showcase Prynne's unique style, which challenges our sense of the world through subtle shifts in language. This edition brings together Prynne's complete oeuvre, including his 1969 collection The White Stones, reissued by New York Review Books with an introduction by Peter Gizzi. With its innovative approach to poetry, J.H. Prynne's Poems is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in modernist literature and the possibilities of language.
