Investigative Poetry / Sanders, Ed ; Ginsberg A ; Blake W ; Olson C ; Pound E ; Solomon C., 1976
According to Sanders, "Investigative Poetry" signifies a form of historical writing. "Investigative poesy is freed from capitalism, churchism, and other totalitatianisms; free from racism, free from napalm-dropping military police states --- a poetry adequate to discharge from its verse-grids the undefiled high energy purely-distilled verse-frags, using every bardic skill and meter and method of the last 5 or 6 generations, in order to describe every aspect (no more secret governments!) of the historical present, while aiding the future, even placing bard-babble once again into a role as the shaper for the future." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
