-- Talking bridges the stylistic gap between David Antin's early experimental poems and the talk pieces for which he is most well-known. Combining one poem with two improvisations and his first published talk-poem, Talking is a unique book that cannot be classified as solely poetry, fiction or criticism. Infusing the lyricism of poetry with the compelling pull of the spoken voice, this collection is a testament to David Antin's reputation as one of the most influential artists of the contemporary era.
"As important a poet as we've got in America." -- Jerome Rothenberg "Ever since he began publishing in the mid-sixties, David Antin has been a remarkably interesting and intelligent poet." -- Gilbert Sorrentino, New York Times "If there still exists an avant-garde, David Antin gives it new life and new importance." -- San Francisco Review of Books
