Ghost Tantras
Book (italiano):
<DIV><p>Praise for Michael McClure:</p><p>"Michael McClure shares a place with the great William Blake, with the visionary Shelley, with the passionate D.H. Lawrence."?Robert Creeley</p><p>"McClure's poetry is a blob of protoplasmic energy."?Allen Ginsberg</p><p>"Without McClure's roar there would have been no Sixties."?Dennis Hopper</p><p>Michael McClure is a living legend. One of the poets who participated in the famous Six Gallery reading that featured the public debut of Allen Ginsberg's landmark poem <I>Howl</I>, he was immortalized by Jack Kerouac in his novel <I>Big Sur</I>. A central figure of the Beat Generation, McClure collaborated with Wallace Berman and Bruce Conner and was later associated with San Francisco's psychedelic counterculture.</p><p>Originally self-published in 1964 and long out of print, <I>Ghost Tantras</I> is one of McClure's signature works, a book mostly written in "beast language." A mix of lyrical, guttural, and laryngeal sound, lion roars, and a touch of detonated dada, this is one of his best-known but least available books, a deep well from which decades of poetry have drawn.</p><p>McClure's inspiration has always been the animal consciousness that still lives in mankind, and he has had a consistent message: "When a man does not admit that he is an animal, he is less than an animal." <I>Ghost Tantras</I> is his original and singular manifesto for a poetry that relies not on images and pictures, but on muscular, sensual, energetic sound.</p><p><B>Michael McClure</B> has received numerous awards. At the age of eighty, he continues to reach new audiences through his poetry, plays, and performance.</p><BR></DIV>
