Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. James Laughlin (1914-97) was a poet of distinction as well as the founding publisher of New Directions. A Commonplace Book of Pentastichs, the last book of his own that he helped to prepare, is a compilation of 249 poems composed in a five-line stanza form first introduced in The Secret Room (1997). A note to "Thirty-nine Pentastichs" in that earlier volume explains: "A 'pentastich' refers simply to a poem of five lines, without regard to metrics. The present selection is of recent short-line compositions in natural voice cadence, many of them marginal jottings and paraphrases of commonplace book notations." Here, then, are armchair marginalia and apercus to be savored at random. A compilation of 249 poems composed in a form of James Laughlin's devising first introduced in "The Secret Room". A "pentastich" refers to a poem of five lines, without regard to metrics. This selection is of short-line compositions in natural voice cadence.
