The poem of a life a biography of Louis Zukofsky

The Poem of a Life is the first critical biography of Louis Zukofsky, a fascinating and crucially important American modernist poet. It details the curve of his career, from the early Waste Land-parody "Poem beginning 'The'" (1926) to the dense and tantalizing beauties of his last poems, 80 Flowers(1978), paying special attention to the monumental, complex, and formally various epic poem "A", on which Zukofsky labored for almost fifty years, and which he called "a poem of a life."

  • "Scroggins' very readable biography mixes impeccable scholarship with an astute sensitivity to the life of a cerebral, private man and a lucid appraisal of a poetry notable for its musicality and formal innovations. Scroggins' discussions of Zukofsky's important long poem "A" are models of critical commentary. By showing in exemplary fashion how the skeins of Zukofsky's life and poetry are subtly interwoven, The Poem of a Life is a valuable and stimulating biography.--inside jacket."
