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.
Reader, Josephine Burge ,
