The First Poets of New College: Old & New Poems From the First Classes of New College of Florida
No Customer Reviews
This anthology features 155 poems by David Rollow, James Ackerman, Glenda Cimino, William Hedrington, and Sondra London, poets who all attended New College of Florida when it was founded in the sixties; with an introduction by Professor Emeritus A.McA. "Mac" Miller, who taught literature at the college since the beginning. He writes: "Here you will find open-form verse that calls to be spoken out loud, form-types like sonnets that offer their own silent sculptures, nonce-forms that play between the spoken word and the printed page, and even rhymed verse to echo the Byronic. A central theme and over-riding accomplishment of these First Poets is survival. Even Bill Hedrington, dead so young, lives here in part. What other parts of us might persist, who knows? The newly named science of epigenetics speculates that the very process of living rewrites parts of our DNA, which might in turn influence future generations. Could poetry become the genetic legacy of the self, or even an autonomous entity that transcends our very substance? Maybe so." http: //FirstPoets.com
