Pre-Faces & Other Writings is the first collection of poetics
by one of the most revolutionary literary innovators of our time.
In addition to more than twenty volumes of his own poetry Jerome
Rothenberg has been active in a wide area of contemporary
experimentation: poetry performance, both as "reading" and as
"happening"; the assembling of radical anthologies and magazines
(such as Technicians of the Sacred and Alcheringa) aimed at the
creation of a fresh environment of poetries "freed from the bondage
of a monolithic great tradition"; and the exploration of new
techniques of translation especially appropriate to tribal/oral
poetry. Almost singlehandedly, he founded the interdisciplinary
field of "ethnopoetics"--both as the investigation of poetry across
the full range of human cultures and its practice in relation to
our own. Called an "oral" poet by some, a "post-modernist" by
others, Rothenberg's own views--both the theories and their
applications--have never before been gathered; the present book is
intended to show the continuities in his own evolving poetics. "I
see all my work in this regard," he comments, "as a pre-face to
something that comes after. If there's still any sense in talking
of an avant-garde, then that must be it for me: an insistence that
the work deny itself the last word, because the consequences of
closure & the closed mind have been and continue to be
horrendous in the world we know."
