"Lew Welch takes his subject on with passionate attentiveness. His exegesis is meticulous & lucid. She's his mentor, his goad, his science. He jumps into her most difficult writing with confidence, respect, fervor, obvious delight. He's educating himself as he goes. Her cadences, the very grammars of her thinking ride into his own writing & thinking. This book is a pleasure to read and I urge it on all Stein & Welch aficionados, as it provides not only primary insights into what Stein was up to, but also into Welch's own evolving & demanding poetics. The book is a mirror between poets." – Anne Waldman "Rarely indeed does one have a chance to witness such attention so finely attuned. Lew Welch's early take on his great mentor's primary works is testament to his own exceptional authority, as reader and writer alike. His insights are fundamental to our recognition of Stein as the bedrock genius she always was for him. He says it all here with such clarity." –Robert Creeley |
