According to Harold Bloom, "The best of Alvin Feinman's poetry is
as good as anything by a twentieth-century American. His work
achieves the greatness of the American sublime." Yet, in part
because he published so sparsely, Feinman remained little-read and
largely unknown when he died in 2008. This definitive edition of
Feinman's complete work, which includes fifty-seven previously
published poems and thirty-nine unpublished poems discovered among
his manuscripts, introduces a new generation of readers to the
lyrical intensity and philosophical ambition of this major American
poet. Harold Bloom, a lifelong friend of Feinman, provides a
preface in which he examines Feinman's work in the context of the
strongest poets of his generation--John Ashbery, James Merrill, and
A. R. Ammons--while the introduction by James Geary, who studied
with Feinman at Bennington College, presents a biographical and
critical sketch of this remarkable poet and teacher. Corrupted into
Song restores Feinman's work to its rightful place alongside that
of poets like Hart Crane and Wallace Stevens, with whom his poetry
and poetics have so much in common.
