The Avenue Bearing the Initial of Christ into the New World

The Avenue Bearing the Initial of Christ into the New World

Kinnell`s great poem, The Avenue Bearing the Initial of Christ into the New World, was inspired by a piece of advice from William Carlos Williams, who counseled him to write about something he was familiar with--in this case, Avenue C in New York City. This 14-part, 450-line, autobiographical, confessional, free-verse poem is considered by many critics to be seminal in American poetry, on a par with the city poems of Whitman, Crane, and Eliot. This volume includes nearly 20 years of Kinnell`s work, from his earliest publications to the looser, passionate, life-affirming poems he was writing in the 1960s. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
