Description

Robert Creeley. The Collected Essays of Robert Creeley. 1989.

The first collected edition of Creeley's prose, bringing together nearly four decades of essays on poetry, painting, and the artists who shaped postwar American culture. Writing on figures including Ezra Pound, Charles Olson, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, and Jackson Pollock, Creeley reveals the same precision and attentiveness that distinguish his poetry.

Condition: Very good.
