Spanning Charles Henri Ford's long and remarkable career, the present volume includes a generous selection of poems gathered from his many groundbreaking books. Ford has been in the advance guard from his precocious beginnings in the Deep South through his experiments in lyrical surrealism in the 1940s up to his recent poetic epiphanies of Nepal.
The poet William Carlos Williams once wrote that the effect of Ford's "particularly hard, generally dreamlike poetry. . .is to revive the sense and force them to re-see, re-hear, re-taste, re-smell, and generally re-value all that it was believed had been seen, heard, smelled, and generally valued."

XX [From the back cover] "Spanning Charles Henri Ford's long and remarkable career the present volume includes a generous selection of poems gathered from his many groundbreaking books. Ford has been in the advance guard from his precocious beginnings in the Deep South through his experiments in lyrical surrealism in the 1940s up to his recent poetic epiphanies of Nepal. The poet William Carlos Williams once wrote that the 'effect of Ford's particularly hard, generally dreamlike poetry is to revive the senses and force them to re-see, re-hear, re-taste, re-smell, and generally re-value all that it was believed had been seen, heard, smelled, and generally valued." "There are few poets writing today whose work is at once so personal and so prophetic" (Herbert Read). XX [From the Poetry Foundation website] "Charles Henri Ford was a poet, an editor, a novelist, an artist, and a cultural catalyst whose career spanned much of 20th-century modernism. Ford claimed inspiration from filmmaker and interdisciplinary artist Jean Cocteau and Cocteau's description of himself as "a poet in everything he does." Ford is considered by some the first American surrealist poet and a precursor of the New York School. His first poem appeared in the New Yorker while he was still a teenager, and he eventually published 16 books of poetry. Ford cowrote The Young and Evil (1933), which many consider the first gay novel, with his lifelong friend the writer and film critic Parker Tyler. The book is based on the author's adventures in Greenwich Village and was banned in the United States until the 1960s. Ford was the editor of View, the premiere surrealist and figurative art and literature magazine of the 1940s and served as a coeditor for Blues: A Magazine of New Rhythms along with Kathleen Tankersley Young and Parker Tyler. Blues published work by poets including E. E. Cummings, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, William Carlos Williams, and Louis Zukofsky. Ford passed away in 2002.". N° de réf. du vendeur 003471
