Excerpt from Chatterton, the Black Death, and Meriwether Lewis, Three Plays by Charles Reznikoff Scene One (The tombs of Canynge, his wife, and Rowley within a church. From their tombs) Canynge. The marble flooring of my vault had fallen in, And into me, waist-deep in sand, an elm Struck its twisted roots. Canynge's Wife. On my smooth body That knew silk and wool only, Ant-hills like sores. Rowley. My enemy, the clock, Talked me, the poet, down at last. Live, while you can, Chatterton, Until the mortgagee forecloses Upon Bristol and your spacious sky. Canynge's Wife. Bristol, Beside the blue flowing water. Chatterton. No wonder you ghosts cry out against The clamp of death, Lord Mayor Canynge, Lady Mayoress, and Priest Rowley. Any weather is fair weather to a warm coat, I eat in the kitchen, sleep with the footboy. They send to peep upon me, copying Mr. Lambert's documents, Hours: eight to eight. Sister and mother take in sewing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Poems of Charles Reznikoff

Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
Charles Reznikoff (1894-1976), the son of Russian garment workers, was an American original: a blood-and-bone New Yorker, a collector of images and stories who walked the city from the Bronx to the Battery and breathed the soul of the Jewish immigrant experience into a lifetime of poetry. He wrote narrative poems based on Old Testament sources. Above all, he wrote spare, intensely visual, epigrammatic poems, a kind of urban haiku. The language of these short poems is as plain as bread and salt, their imagery as crisp and unambiguous as a Charles Sheeler photograph. But their meaning is only hinted at: it is there in the selection of details, and in the music of the verse. Reznikoff was sincere and objective, a poet of great feeling who strove to honor the world by describing it precisely. He also strove to keep his feelings out of his poetry. He did not confess, he did not pose, he did not cultivate a myth of himself. Instead he created art-an unadorned art in praise of the world that God and men have made-and invited readers to bring their own feelings to it. In an age of ephemera, of first drafts rushed into print and soon forgotten, Reznikoff's poetry is a sturdy, well-wrought thing-"a girder, still itself / among the rubble." A timeless testament-impersonal, incorruptible, undeniably American-it will survive every change in literary fashion. Book jacket.
By the Waters of Manhattan
Author: Charles ReznikoffPublisher: Black Sparrow Books
ISBN: 1574232142
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
By the Waters of Manhattan was Charles Reznikoff's first novel, published in 1930 by Charles Boni in New York. Part family saga, part bildungsroman, and part unrequited love story, the novel follows the lives of a Jewish family at the turn of the century from Elizavetgrad, Russia to Brownsville, Brooklyn, birthplace of the novel's protagonist, Ezekiel, a young poet in search of ways to feed his stomach and his soul. Like Walt Whitman, Hart Crane, and Henry Roth, Reznikoff's subject is as much the great island of Manhattan, as it is its inhabitants.
