description: This first full-length study of William Bronk, one of our most important contemporary poets and essayists, locates his work in relation to the New England literary tradition, Modernism, and the Objectivist and Black Mountain schools of poetry. It features extensive treatments of American nineteenth- and twentieth-century literary figures, set within the context of intellectual currents beyond the world of literature. Discussions of solitude and abnegation disclose the roots of Bronk's notions of being, emptiness, and nothingness.
