One of the most thorough accounts of the Waldrops' life and work ever published.
The Waldrop's are a model for independent artists and thinkers, and the reflections, stories, and creative works assembled here should easily inspire many young writers and artists.
As with the previous book in the series on Joanne Kyger, this book offers a wide array of materials that readers can read through cover to cover or browse, including poems, plays, essays, interviews, and more.
This republishes some complete books, including the Waldrop's autobiography Ceci N'est Pas Keith, Ceci N'est Pas Rosmarie.
Many of these pieces were published and distributed in limited editions by the Waldrops themselves and are now hard to find.
Several pieces, including an interview with Keith Waldrop by Peter Gizzi and an interview with Rosmarie Waldrop by Ben Lerner, are previously unpublished.
It is generously illustrated with numerous facsimiles of texts, posters, and artworks-including many of Keith's collages.
It is edited by well-known poet and novelist Ben Lerner, with an introduction by well-known poet and scholar Aaron Kunin.
Brown University maintains an archive of the Waldrop's work

Industry Reviews

"One of the leading voices in contemporary American poetry. Waldrop's nimble poetics of 'gap gardening' provides the emotional and ethical center."--Boston Review

"A wonderful mix of philosophical conversation, erotic questions and astrophysical speculation--defiantly brilliant speculations."--Publishers Weekly

"With this collection, it is evident that Waldrop's universe begins where Einstein's ends. Nearly fifty years of lyric riffs, meditations, and collages, using as source material the works of physicists, philosophers, explorers, historians, and critics, from Columbus to Wittgenstein, seek to simultaneously define, deconstruct, and, finally, re-construct a mind in motion."--Music & Literature

"These poems demand a certain reverence."--Bookforum
