Synopsis

An expansion of Sukenick's 1962 doctoral dissertation, Wallace Stevens: Musing the Obscure, which was originally published in 1967, is a ground-breaking book-length study of US-American modernist poet Wallace Stevens (1879-1955). Following an introductory essay on Stevens' poetic theory and practice, the book provides close readings of the poet's major and most representative poems.

RONALD SUKENICK (1932–2004) was one of the most important innovators, editors, and critics of US-American literature. His eight novels, three collections of short stories, and four books of nonfiction/theory, published between 1968 and 2005, have variously been described as avantgarde, energetically performative, dissident, revisionistic, and a threat to all hierarchies. Educated at Cornell University, New York, and Brandeis University, Massachusetts, Sukenick taught as Professor of English at the University of Colorado, Boulder, from 1975 to 1999, where he was also director of the creative writing program. Sukenick co-founded the publishing house the Fiction Collective (now FC2) and edited the journals American Book Review and Black Ice Magazine.

Invisible Starfall Books' RONALD SUKENICK EDITION is a series of republications of the author's books in their definitive version, spiced up with first editions of unpublished and uncollected texts. Carefully proofread and with a new design, each book was produced in close cooperation with Julia Frey (now Julia Nolet), the widow and heir of Ronald Sukenick.
