Robert Duncan and the Pragmatist Sublime

"Maynard illuminates how Duncan's encounters with Pragmatist process philosophy helped catalyze one of the richest, most groundbreaking bodies of poetic art created since 1940."--Robert Kaufman, University of California, Berkeley

"This book is a treasure trove of archival gems that Maynard has unearthed in his many years of residence among the poet's papers."--Stephen Fredman, editor of A Concise Companion to Twentieth-Century American Poetry
