Publisher's Synopsis
Cultural Writing. Drama. Murray Edmond's NOH BUSINESS is a skillful weave of his meditations on the Eastern Noh style of theatre and its connections with Western poetry and theatre. He includes in his discussions, the work of such artists as Brecht, Yeats, Pound, Koch, O'Hara, as well as the contemporary avant-garde of both theatre and poetry. Edmond ends with a collection of five of his own plays. This book looks not at the Noh itself, but at Western meetings (mine and many others) with Noh...This book is about that fascination, through my eyes, as one who has been held in that fascination--Murray Edmond.
