His powerfully eloquent voice set the tone for political poetry in this country many years ago. Since leaving a teaching career in the ’60s, Hirschman has taken the free exchange of poetry and politics into the streets where he is, in the words of poet Luke Breit, "America’s most important living poet." He is the author of numerous books of poetry, plus some 45 translations from a half a dozen languages, as well as the editor of anthologies and journals. Among his many volumes of poetry are <i>Endless Threshold</i>, <i>The Xibalba Arcane</i>, and <i>Lyripol</i> (City Lights, 1976). 01 eng 256 00 256 03 24 Internet CL Hierarchy Art, Music, Cinema & Drama 24 Internet CL Hierarchy Essays 24 Internet CL Hierarchy Literature in Translation 24 Internet CL Hierarchy Surrealism 01 <P>"I am the man," wrote Artaud, "who has best charted his inmost self."
