Description: "In 1916, two brash, young men with ten quarts of Scotch and a touch of genius faked a new school of poetry and set the critical world on its ear. Former Poet Laureate William Jay Smith retells the story of America's most successful literary spoof with all its twists and turns. This long out-of-print volume with Smith's updated preface relates the hoax to our current cultural scene, and includes the entire text of Spectra."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Includes the text of the 1916 ed. of Spectra, a book of poetic experiment, by Anne Knish [pseud.] and Emanuel Morgan  [pseud.].
