Selected and introduced by Thomas Parkinson
Associate Professor of English,
Berkeley University of California
The ' paleface ' tradition of American poetry-the sophisticated, cosmopolitan manner of, say, Wallace Stevens-is readily understood by English readers. The 'redskin ' tradition, represented by a poet such as William Carlos Williams, is not so easily accepted here.
Professor Parkinson discusses recent volumes by Williams, Allen Ginsberg, Josephine Miles, and the English poet Charles Tomlinson, whose work, he believes, is in this tradition. Mr. Ginsberg and Mr. Tomlinson read their own work.
