The Collected Poems of Philip Lamantia Hardcover - 2013 - 1st Edition
by Philip Lamantia; Garrett Caples (Editor); Nancy Joyce Peters (Editor)
From the rear cover
"Philip Lamantia's 'Collected Poetry' is beyond scale, weight, or measure. There is no proportion in this intertwining of soul-buildings. These are the inexorable and ineffable projects of an inspired consciousness set at full tilt in raging protest, kisses, prayers, blessings and outraged demands. All from the deepest silence and farthest travel. The reader's excitement is carried by Lamantia's spiritual and physical beat. This surreal and mantic project drives farther than anything before or after. Breathtaking! These works are of synesthetic beauty to the eye, the ear, and the open interior of the heart. They come from the peaks and herbs and forests where the meadowlark speaks." --Michael McClure "Philip Lamantia's poems are about rapture as a condition. They are spiritual and erotic at the same time. Bright and dark, the enclosed polarities of devotion. St. Teresa and Rimbaud."--Tom Clark, author of Light & Shade: New and Selected Poems "The blade-flash of Lamantia's word lode strikes the owl stone, arcs to inspire. A quotidian American surrealism? Sudden array of Lemmy Cautions dashing through a hundred identical hotel doors. Visions for sure. Quick! Akhamatova in Lemuria!" --Clark Coolidge
