Corbin & Poetry, continuing... #29

I present this post as a node leading off in several directions at once. There is enough here to keep the interested person busy for a long time...

In a letter to me (an actual, physical letter in longhand) Duncan McNaughton wrote:

"As far as I know - not far - Jack Clarke's work (From Feathers to Iron [at amazon]) and subsequent poetry of his, is the most evident use of Corbin after Olson's. In a primary determination involving, obviously, several other primaries - Blake, the Dogon stuff, Novalis, di Santillana, etc. All aimed at what is actually meant by what is called 'interpretation.' "

And see this Interview with Stephen Ellis - on, among (many) other things, John Clarke and his poetry (In the Analogy: Parts 1-7).

I also must mention Kenneth Warren's wonderful print publication House Organ in which he promises to include at least excerpts from his "Between Language & Ta'wil: Robert Creeley, Jack Clarke & Poetics in Buffalo after Olson" presented at the Soul in Buffalo Conference last year.
