Synopsis
Peacock Blue Compiles A Single Volume All Of Webb's Published, Unpublished, And Uncollected Works From A Writing Career That Spanned Fifty Years. It Offers Readers The Opportunity To Relish The Arc Of Webb's Entire Poetic Oeuvre, From The Modernist Lyricism Of Her Early Works, To The Groundbreaking Volume Naked Poems (1965), In Which Webb Created For Herself A New Minimalist Language; From Wilson's Bowl To What Douglas Barbour Calls Webb's Loving And Subversive Engagement With The Ghazal In Water And Light (1984); And Finally To The Postmodernist Prose Poems Of Hanging Fire (1990). The Concluding Section Of Peacock Blue Contains Almost Fifty Poems Previously Uncollected, Some Of Which Have Never Been Published Before. It Is Full Of Brilliant But Forgotten Poems And Poetic Surprises. --from The Publisher. Phyllis Webb ; Edited By John F. Hulcoop.
