Description
Clark Coolidge's "The Crystal Text" is a durational poem composed over 10 months in daybook-like entries. Written in response to a crystal received as a gift, it explores the limits of language and its relationship with the natural world. This new edition includes a preface by poet Peter Gizzi and an afterword discussing the text with poets Jason Morris and Garrett Caples. The poem's meaning is intentionally ambiguous, inhabiting multiple possibilities simultaneously. Published in 1986, "The Crystal Text" remains one of the major works of late 20th century American avant-garde poetry.
