About the Author

Robert Creeley (1926-2005) was an American poet and author of more than sixty books. He was closely associated with the Black Mountain poets.

Tom Clark was the poetry editor of The Paris Review from 1963 to 1973, one of the prestigious journal's most important decades. He published his own collections of poetry exclusively with Black Sparrow Press. His numerous literary essays and reviews have appeared in publications including The New York Times, London Review of Books, and the San Francisco Chronicle, among others. He has also published six biographies of twentieth-century literary figures. Clark died in Berkeley, California, in 2018.

Reviews

Creeley has shaped his own audience. The much imitated, often diluted minimalism, the compression of emotion into verse in which scarcely a syllable is wasted, has decisively marked a generation of poets.
