The Duncan Era

A humbler resemblance to The H.D. Book than The Pound Era, Patrick James Dunagan's The Duncan Era: One Reader's Cosmology is an account of how we might very well begin to read America's most essential poet since Pound and Williams. The accounts of community-featuring Jack Spicer, Robin Blaser, and Jess-do not disappoint, sounding out the beginnings of a possible literary cosmology to further explore the origins, life, and fate of Duncan's poetry.
