Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. A new edition of Ronald Johnson's masterpiece, edited by Peter O'Leary.
ARK is a metaphysical poem that could only have been written in our time, of which it displays a new vision. It is a late harvest of seeds sown by Blake, L. Frank Baum, the Bible, and Zukofsky, all in a new architecture, a wholly new voice, and even a new chemistry of words and images. It is for those who can see visions, and for those who know how to look well and be taught that they can see them.--Guy Davenport
