Produktbeschreibung
A new book-length lyric from one of our most prolific contemporary poets and thinkers. In a headlong rush, Lyn Hejinian's FALL CREEK swirls the literal with the littoral, sediment with sentiment, and "inklings / of sob shout or song / inking clarity in book stone rustle / word sending leaves down / in further language ..." Already a quarter of the way into the 21st Century, history swells its banks, sweeping the detritus of nature, culture, ideology and mythology, politics and philosophy, of humans, birds, fish and frogs, their flights, songs, cries and reflections, into a breathless course of "meandering specifics." Hejinian delivers it up "in a current of bomb sense" at once precipitous and precise. Here is a poetry of everyday life in all its plenitude. Poetry.

Her groundbreaking book of poetry, My Life, has had five reprintings from 1980-2002. With Barrett Watten, she is the co-editor of A Guide to Poetics Journal: Writing in the Expanded Field 1982-1998, and the related Poetics Journal Digital Archive (Wesleyan University Press, 2013/2015). She is the co-director (with Travis Ortiz) of Atelos, a literary project commissioning and publishing cross-genre work by poets, and the co-editor (with Jane Gregory and Claire Marie Stancek) of Nion Editions, a chapbook press. From 2001-2020, Hejinian taught at the University of California, Berkeley; her scholarly work there and since is addressed principally to modernist, postmodern, and contemporary poetry and poetics, with a particular interest in avant-garde movements and the social practices they entail. In addition to her other academic work, she has long been involved in anti-privatization activism.
