Kora In Hell: Improvisations (1920) - Hardcover

Kora In Hell: Improvisations is a book of experimental poetry written by William Carlos Williams and first published in 1920. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which is a collection of short, free-verse poems that explore themes of language, perception, and the creative process. The second part is a longer, more narrative poem that takes the form of a dialogue between the poet and a character named Kora.Throughout the book, Williams experiments with language and form, using unconventional syntax, punctuation, and typography to create a sense of spontaneity and improvisation. The poems are often fragmented and disjointed, with abrupt shifts in tone and subject matter.Despite its experimental nature, Kora In Hell is also deeply rooted in Williams' own experiences as a physician and writer. Many of the poems explore the relationship between language and the body, and the ways in which the act of writing can be both liberating and constraining.Overall, Kora In Hell is a challenging but rewarding work of modernist poetry that continues to influence writers and scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
