Ranging from A Fist Full, published in 1957, through Swirls in Asphalt, a new poem sequence, Of Indigo and Saffron is both an excellent introduction to this unique American voice and an impressive selection from McClure's landmark volumes for those already familiar with his boldly inventive work. One of the five poets who heralded the Beat movement in the 1955 Six Gallery reading in San Francisco, McClure reveals in his poetry a close kinship to Romanticism, Modernism, Surrealism, and Japanese haiku. These poems-grounded in imagination and a profound regard for the natural world-chart a poetic landscape of utter originality.American poetry20th century poets.american poets.american.beat movement.beat poets.beauty.book club reads.california.controversial.essential collection.famous poets.humanity.imaginative.introduction to poetry.inventive.japanese haiku.modernism.natural world.nature poems.poem sequence.poems.poetic landscape.poetry collection.radical poetry.romantic poetry.romanticism.san francisco.six gallery reading.surrealist poetry.visionary work.American poetry.811/.54McClure Michael759947Scalapino Leslie1497580MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785434103321Of indigo and saffron3722764UNINA
