The Act of Providence


Book Description

Poetry. "Clark Coolidge's THE ACT OF PROVIDENCE is the first book since Ashbery's Flowchart to remind me of the particular pleasure reading once was. It is as if Dylan Thomas and Jack Kerouac danced together in the cemetery of Spoon River in the light of a projected image of Joe Brainard flickering on fleeting clouds, while teaching the intricate steps to the ghost of Maximus"--Tom Raworth.
