{"product_id":"jh-prynne-poems-2016-2024-9781780376929","title":"J.H. Prynne: Poems 2016-2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eJ.H. Prynne (1936-2026) was Britain’s leading late Modernist poet. His austere yet playful poetry challenges our sense of the world, not by any direct address to the reader but by showing everything in a different light, enacting slips and changes of meaning through shifting language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot since the late work of Ezra Pound and the Maximus series of Charles Olson had the possibilities of poetry been so fundamentally questioned and extended as they were in the life work of J.H. Prynne. When his \u003cem\u003ePoems\u003c\/em\u003e was first published in 1999, it was immediately acclaimed as a landmark in modern poetry. Four further collections were added to the second edition of \u003cem\u003ePoems\u003c\/em\u003e in 2005, followed by a further seven along with a group of uncollected poems to the third edition of \u003cem\u003ePoems\u003c\/em\u003e (2015).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe decade since \u003cem\u003ePoems\u003c\/em\u003e (2015) was the most productive period of Prynne's life, with over thirty limited editions published between 2017 and 2024. To have added these to a fourth edition of \u003cem\u003ePoems\u003c\/em\u003e would have doubled the size of that volume. \u003cem\u003ePoems 2016–2024\u003c\/em\u003e is therefore a separate, supplementary edition of his later work, including, except for minor corrections, the mostly unchanged contents of 36 texts written since \u003cem\u003ePoems\u003c\/em\u003e (2015), from \u003cem\u003eEach to Each\u003c\/em\u003e (2017), written in 2016, to \u003cem\u003eAlembic Forest\u003c\/em\u003e (2024), including the corrected 2023 text of \u003cem\u003eAt Raucous Purposeful\u003c\/em\u003e (2022). The 26 \u003cem\u003eImpromptus\u003c\/em\u003e comprising \u003cem\u003eMemory Working\u003c\/em\u003e, originally published in three separate editions in 2020 and 2021, appear here as a complete sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrynne's most productive decade also saw the publication of three prose works, \u003cem\u003eGraft and Corruption: Shakespeare's Sonnet 15\u003c\/em\u003e (2015\/2016), \u003cem\u003eApophthegms\u003c\/em\u003e (2017) and \u003cem\u003eWhitman and Truth\u003c\/em\u003e (2022), along with editions of Prynne's correspondence with Charles Olson (2017) and Douglas Oliver (2022). His two-volume \u003cem\u003eCollected Prose\u003c\/em\u003e is forthcoming from Oxford University Press (New York).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J.H.
