Vienna Blood & Other Poems is in some ways the most
synthesizing of Jerome Rothenberg's recent collections, pulling
together work from the 1970s that stands apart from Poland/1931
(1974) and A Seneca Journal (1978) yet at the same time continuing
the enactment of past and present begun in those books. But where
before he chose to restrict his exploration to ancestral Jewish and
Amerindian poetries, Rothenberg now takes us on a series of broader
journeys through the collapsed landscape of what he calls the 'new
wilderness," evoked as place, as structure, as mind. Written both
to be read quietly on the printed page and aloud in performance,
the poems in Vienna Blood, though experimental and
language-centered, are nevertheless the work of a poet who, by his
own admission, is "crazy for content, make no mistake about it." As
if to underscore this point, he has appended brief comments to most
of the major sections of the book, in order, as he says, "to give
it some context in the way of 'oral tradition' usually reserved for
poetry readings, etc., a little of which I now commit to writing."
