Add to basketOffering: Kenneth Patchen. The Famous Boating Party (And Other Poems in Prose). NYC: New Directions, 1954. First edition. VG- in VG+ DJ. A clean, sound copy with only light offsetting to the endpapers and a damp stain visible to the edge of the photographic frontispiece portrait (as shown). The dust jacket is bright and fully intact, with minor creasing and edgewear -- much less that's usually seen. A solid example of Patchen s bold foray into prose poetry, printed at the Blue Ridge Mountain Press and issued by James Laughlin s New Directions. By 1954, Kenneth Patchen had firmly established himself as a pioneering figure in American poetry. His innovative fusion of visual art and verse, along with his impassioned performances, positioned him at the forefront of the avant-garde literary scene. This period saw Patchen delving deeper into prose poetry, a form that allowed him to blend narrative and lyricism seamlessly. The Famous Boating Party emerged during this creative surge, reflecting his commitment to exploring new literary terrains and challenging conventional poetic forms. The Famous Boating Party is a collection that exemplifies Patchen's mastery of prose poetry. The pieces within are characterized by their vivid imagery, emotional depth, and philosophical musings. Patchen's unique voice resonates throughout, offering readers a journey through surreal landscapes and introspective reflections. The book's design, featuring a minimalist dust jacket with bold typography (hands down my favorite Patchen DJ), complements the stark and profound nature of the content. This work stands as a testament to Patchen's ability to push the boundaries of poetic expression. A compelling blend of narrative and lyricism, The Famous Boating Party showcases Patchen's innovative spirit and enduring impact on modern poetry.
