Description
"From his early beginnings as a writer in the 1930s Works Progress Administration (under the direction of Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison) to his death in 2003, Lawrence Fixel's literary output was steady and prolific. Regarded by prose poets both in the United States and abroad as an early master of the prose poem and pioneer of the modern parable, Fixel's careful, explorative, often wryly humorous, deeply introspective work -- sought out to the end of his life by avant-garde magazines -- strikes a chord of the universally human: our foibles, our arrogances, our excesses and triumphs. This volume presents, for the first time, all of this American master's published work, including both his early poetry in verse and his extensive body of work in prose."--
