s/t cd (jag901)
jagjaguwar correspondent is proud to announce the release of a new recording of the internationally renowned poet robert creeley. captured on tape at his home in waldoboro, maine in the summer of 2000, the poet reads a selection of new and previously uncollected poems. this marks the first occasion in which mr. creeley has appeared unaccompanied on a cd, his work read in all its bare and vital intimacy.
his landmark importance as a modern and uncompromising voice in the 1950’s and 60’s has continued through subsequent decades with work as crucial and innovative as in those formative years. he has been a distinct and relentless documentarian of age and its changing perceptions. from the tender, inquisitive addresses of a father to his growing children to meditations on growth, memory and reality, these fifteen pieces reveal a poet in maturity. among them is a 25-part poem in response to the paintings of francesco clemente.
william carlos williams said of creeley, "the subtlest feeling for the measure that i encounter anywhere except in the verses of ezra pound." michael mcclure wrote, "he is a genius of the sensorium as kerouac was and a master of the ear as is miles davis." listen and you'll know why.
a 32-page booklet of text, photographs, and author's note accompanies the cd.
among his numerous books are the collected poems of robert creeley 1945-1975 (university of california press, 1982) and life & death (new directions, 1998). |
