Hailed by Robert Creeley as "both a deeply useful book and an
unequivocal delight" and by the LA Times Book Review as one of the
hundred most recommended American books of the late 20th century,
Jerome Rothenberg's landmark anthology Technicians of the Sacred
has educated and inspired generations of poets, artists, musicians,
and other readers, exposing them to the multiple possibilities of
poetry throughout the world. Juxtaposing "primitive" and archaic
works of art from many cultures with each other and with
avant-garde and experimental poetry, Jerome Rothenberg contends
that literature extends beyond specific temporal and geographic
boundaries, while acting as a retort to those who would call that
larger humanity into question. A half-century since its original
publication, this revised and expanded third edition provides
readers with a wealth of newly gathered and translated texts from
recently reinvigorated indigenous cultures, bringing the volume
into the present and further extending the range and depth of what
we recognize and read as poetry.
