Amazon.com description: Product Description:
     Song, my song, raise grief to music
     Light as my lovesâ thought, the few sick
     So sick of wrangling: thus weeping,
     Sounds of light, stay in her keeping
     And my sonâs face â this much for honor
          â from â âAâ-11â
At long last, here is the whole of Louis Zukofskyâs epic masterpiece âAâ back in print with misprints corrected and a new, fresh introduction by the noted scholar Barry Ahearn. No other poem in the English language is filled with as much daily love, light, intellect, and music. As William Carlos Williams once wrote of Zukofskyâs poetry, âI hear a new music of verse stretching out into the future.â
The new, authoritative edition of âAâ: the monumental lifepoem by one of the most important American poets of the twentieth century, Louis Zukofsky.
     River that must turn full after I stop dying     Song, my song, raise grief to music

     So sick of wrangling: thus weeping,
     Sounds of light, stay in her keeping
     And my sonâs face â this much for honor
