Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the intersection of poetry and American craftsmanship, this collection features unpublished essays and radio scripts by Louis Zukofsky, commissioned by the Federal Arts Project in 1936. It delves into traditional American crafts such as ironwork and furniture making, while reflecting Zukofsky's view of poetry as a crafted object. The work seeks to bridge the labor theory of value with aesthetic production, appealing to enthusiasts of 20th-century poetry, cultural criticism, and design scholarship.
