| Summary: | "Joe Brainard's work occupies the literal margins of New York School poetry, while also figuratively influencing its aesthetic margins, shaping the School from both within and without. Brainard was not only an important illustrator and friend to many New York School poets, he was also a respected collage and miniature artist, cartoonist, avid letter writer and serious poet. As the canon of avant-garde American poetry warmly embraces his poetry alongside his art, the field of literary criticism is enthusiastically rsponding to Brainard's literary contribution with sophisticated scholarship and first-hand accounts which attend to both his textual and visual nuances. This collection offers the first place for the importance of Brainard's poetry, collaborations and art to be recognised for their contribution and influence, all in one volume."--Page 4 of cover. |
