FROM THE BOOK OF LEGENDS by Jane Wodening
Like Aubrey’s Brief Lives set down by Gertrude Stein, these legends of Maya Deren, Joseph Cornell and Charles Olson have the vivid force of anecdote, ocuppying the space between what is remembered and what actually happened.
‘”Tell me about them”, like they say, is an invitation to make in some way substantial the people who aren’t there and may well never be there again at all…No better stories will be told than these, because no one else as she was there to tell them.’ from the preface by Robert Creeley
‘Jane Wodening’s reconstruction of well-known characters is magic realism of the most delightful kind.’ Ed Dorn
‘…you feel a real imaginative accuracy at work’ Charles Tomlinson PN Review
‘Only wished there was more of it.’ David Miller
