Ted Greenwald Bücher

Highlighting the unique poetic style of Ted Greenwald, this collection features previously unpublished works that showcase his innovative approach to language and form. Edited by Miles Champion, the poems reflect Greenwald's deep connections to the New York School and Language poets, emphasizing his exploration of a mutated triolet form. This volume serves as a companion to his earlier work, "Common Sense," and illustrates his skill in creating intricate patterns and musicality in poetry. An online reader's companion will also be available.

The book features a unique poetic collaboration between Ted Greenwald and Kyle Schlesinger, initiated in spring 2016 through three-line postcards. Rather than aiming for direct responses, the poets embraced chance and synchronicity, allowing the poems to unfold chronologically. This collection delves into themes of free association and imagined dialogues, offering readers a fresh perspective on the creative process and the interplay of thoughts between the two poets.

Rooted in the vernacular of urban life, this cult classic showcases a spare, street-wise style that captures the essence of everyday speech. The work stands out for its ability to maintain the flow of conversation while revealing its musical, emotional, and ironic layers. Associated with significant movements in American poetry, such as the Language movement and the New York School, it defies easy classification. An online reader's companion enhances the experience for those exploring its unique poetic landscape.
