"Early in his career, Robert Creeley believed that his greatest contribution to literature would be in prose. Although he has since established himself as one of the most influential poets of the twentieth century, his remarkable body of prose work--instilled with a deep understanding of language and narrative form--remains an essential part of his oeuvre. In addition to his first book of short stories THE GOLD DIGGERS, a novel THE ISLAND, a radio play LISTEN, and MABEL: A STORY, this omnibus edition includes two previously uncollected stories." [publisher copy] "Although best known as a poet, Robert Creeley has been a writer of significant prose fiction throughout his career. He inherits the minimalist style of Beckett and the ethical concerns of Flaubert and Stendhal. Creeley's stories provide a contemporary example of the same impulse toward the American 'power of blackness' one associates with Melville, Hawthorne, and Dickinson, and his works are--along with those like Kerouac's On the Road or some of Mailer's early novels--the best record of the 1950s that we have. Creeley reports on the psychological condition of an era from within an individual rather than from historical particulars."--Michael Davidson, U.C. San Diego.
