"Comfortably intimate--classically adroit in its formal wit and
invention--altogether unique yet in no way excluding, this
meticulously edited edition of a master poet's collected works
gives us the defining bridge from the "New American Poetry" of the
'50s to that poetry now contemporary on both coasts and in all
conditions. No one ever recognized the people with whom he lived
more particularly than did Ted Berrigan, and no one ever brought
them home to a reader with such unaggressive and persistent power.
This is a great, great book for all seasons of the mind and
heart."--Robert Creeley"Ted Berrigan was a leader of the New York
School; his crazy energy embodied that movement and the city
itself. It is wonderful to have his Collected Poems in
print."--John Ashbery"A comprehensive and carefully chronicled
volume that puts Ted Berrigan in historical context as one of the
most influential poets of his generation. His poems: deft, light,
definitely humorous, irreverent, poignant, 'marvelous and tough.'
The truth doing its work, 'the great man doing the ordinary thing,
' with a quick ear and a quick tongue, revealing the personal in
the universal. He gives you his full attention--'about to be born
again thinking of you.' "--Joanne Kyger"In a life devoted to
experimental art, Ted Berrigan shaped his poetry and the space he
occupied with a bold artistry based on his playful but powerfully
skeptical view of the world. He wondered what might actually be
captured within the pages of a book, but The Collected Poems allows
us to again enjoy Ted Berrigan's delightfully demanding
presence."--Lorenzo Thomas
