A blog devoted to the writings of Louis Zukofsky, etc. Please do not quote Mr. Zukofsky in the comments. According to Wikipedia, "Paul Zukofsky required that graduate students ask him for permission to quote from his father's works in their dissertations (an unusual practice), and made it clear that he might withhold such permission."

Vietnam
I had forgotten about the references to the Vietnam War in "A" - 18. I really enjoyed watching the Ken Burns The Vietnam War this year, so I read these references in a new light. My readingtt's book on Zukofsky's 80 Flowers, but I don't think I'll finish it by Sunday. Then I plan to reread 80 Flowers itself and then leave Zukofsky for until the end of November 2018 after the midterm elections. I like the Leggott book, but I don't know if I understand what Zukofsky had in mind when he wrote 80 Flowers.

"A" - The Fonz
Well, I just read "A" - 2 this morning as I continue my annual tradition of reading "A" every December. I just started reading Michele Leggott's Reading Zukofsky's 80 Flowers, and I hope to finish that as well as 80 Flowers itself and Zukofsky's book on Appolinaire. Perhaps next year I will return to Zukofsky's Catullus.
