The book includes six poems published for the first time from Duncan's notebooks, plus one previous published after Duncan's death. Robert Duncan (1919-1988) was "described by Kenneth Rexroth as 'one of the most accomplished, one of the most influential' of the postwar American poets, Robert Duncan was an important part of both the Black Mountain school of poetry, led by Charles Olson, and the San Francisco Renaissance, whose other members included poets Jack Spicer and Robin Blaser. A distinctive voice in American poetry, Duncan's idiosyncratic poetics drew on myth, occultism, religionincluding the theosophical tradition in which he was raisedand innovative writing practices such as projective verse and composition by field."
