A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The New York Times, quoted on the jacket of the Knopf edition of this book recommends it as follows:

"Michael Strange is a signature underneath which can always be found images, phrases, the embodiment in colorful words of things seen or felt or thought, so unusual and so outstanding that they strike the attention at once and remain in the memory."

Benjamin De Casseres says of it:

"The poems of Michael Strange do not 'fly to the eyes.' They touch you remotely at first as with nightmare fingers. You go back to study them, to concentrate on them, to marry them.

In the light of such praise, it is only fair to give an example:

O those vast limbs in the chrysalis of me—
O this titanic aerial being so fettered yet
In the slime of my defective understanding—
This God with spheres nestling in His palm
Asleep in me yet—
And veiled in the stupor of my fear of things
Concerning this one tiny world.
