The Granite Pail: The Selected Poems of Lorine Niedecker / Edition 1

by Lorine Niedecker, Cid (Ed.) Corman, Cid Corman, Cid Cormna

Overview

Poetry. Edited by Cid Corman. The section headings in this book of poems are all vintage Niedecker, but they stake out the poems in three large masses. The earlier work-apprentice to Zukofsky but finding her voice; the central work—when she discovers her range and depth; the final work—much of it known posthumously—showing how she was probing other voices into a larger plenum. "One's first impulse, after awe, on reading THE GRANITE PAIL is a double dose of shame: shame at not being more familiar with her work; shame at ever having complained of the narrowness of one's life"—Carolyn Kizer.
