About This Item
New York: Grossman, 1971. First Edition. Very good. Softcover : pp. [230] : white illustrated cover.
All edges of block age toned and a little marked; general wear to cover edges. "Poet Frank Samperi was born in Brooklyn to Italian parents. An autodidact influenced by Thomas Aquinas and Dante Alighieri, Samperi was mentored by poets Louis Zukofsky and Cid Corman.
His poems engage themes of spirituality and transcendence. In a 2008 essay on Samperi's poetics for Jacket Magazine, J. Townsend observes, "There is a level of hermetic intimacy within Samperi's work that creates a fascinating contrast to the vast metaphysical field with which he philosophically engages. The instances of connection are expansive; a sudden sight finds its origin within an overarching spiritual nature."Produced by Mushinsha, a company dedicated to the production of books of poetry in fine editions." (Poetry Foundation online).
