Vesuvio - Paperback

In this first edition of the Vesuvio anthology, readers will find recent unpublished works by three authors often associated with the 'Nomaterialist' movement. Their names are also familiar as three of the most prominent publishers of American poetry today. Here they offer engagements with each other's work, statements concerning poetry in general, and a complicated philosophy that marks them as major-if unrecognized-figures. They are not only anti-anti-intellectual, but also anti-anti-meaning, and anti-anti-sincerity, all for the sake of immediacy, satisfaction, and compersion. Despite the fierce polemical differences between Newberger and the other two, they are united in their quest for never-ending life.
