unpublished Beckett, Frost, Paz in FULCRUM 6

[LitNews]

FULCRUM: An Annual of Poetry and Aesthetics, #6 (730 pages) features
uncollected Samuel Beckett; unpublished Robert Frost and Octavio Paz;
essays by Christopher Ricks, Marjorie Perloff, Eliot Weinberger and
many others; a feature on "Poetry and Myth"; a debate between poets
John Kinsella and Rosanna Warren; translations of Seferis, Vian,
Quevedo; and a great deal more.

Most readers of Samuel Beckett are well acquainted with his plays and
prose, but few are aware that Becket was a considerable, stunningly
original poet. The special feature (185 pages) on "Samuel Beckett as
Poet," edited by Philip Nikolayev in the current FULCRUM #6, presents
Beckett's neglected masterpiece, "Ceiling," drawings of Beckett from
life by Avigdor Arikha, and essays by Christopher Ricks, Marjorie
Perloff, Eliot Weinberger, Anne Atik, S. E. Gontarski, Jean-Michel
Rabaté, Simon Critchley, Chris Ackerley, Seán Lawlor, David Wheatley,
Mark Nixon, Philip Nikolayev, Daniel Albright, and a previously
unpublished conversation between Octavio Paz and Eliot Weinberger on
Beckett's English translation of An Anthology of Mexican Poetry. A few
of the essays quote extensively from Beckett's unpublished
correspondence and manuscripts.

FULCRUM # 6 also presents previously unpublished lectures by Robert
Frost ("The Claims of Poetry," "The Most Dangerous Phrase in America,"
and "The Natural and Supernatural Bounds of Science"), transcribed
with annotation and commentary by Frost scholar James Sitar.

The special "Poetry and Myth" section, edited by Cliff Forshaw and
David Kennedy, presents a variety of essays and poems on the subject.

And there is a great deal more outstanding poetry and criticism in the
issue!
