Testimony: The United States 1885-1890, Recitative
by: Reznikoff, Charles

Hardcover. NY/San Francisco, New Directions / San Francisco Review, 1st, 1965, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a very good dust jacket with toning on the spine and edges, unclipped. A stark panorama of late 19th and early 20th-century America-the underside of the Gilded Age, beset by racism and casual violence, poverty and disease-in a radically stripped-down language. A legendary book that stands alongside Louis Zukofsky's "A" and William Carlos Williams' Paterson as a milestone of modern American poetry. 115 pages, no markings.
