"A" for Atomic

Happy Wren Day!

At one point in "A" Zukofsky mentions Hiroshima and suggests "A" can stand for Atomic.  Back in the 80's it struck me that many authors who interested me had what seemed to me difficult styles:  Bucky Fuller, Ezra Pound, the Leary of Exo-Psychology, James Joyce, etc.  Thinking of the Jumping Jesus phenomena, these people lived through information doublings for the first time in human history.  They lived through more radical change than did earlier authors, so they developed idiosyncratic styles to attempt to communicate their experiences and models of this change.  Zukofsky's "A" deals with the changes he experienced in the world, from the steam age to the space age.  When he write about the sound Sputnik makes, it made me think of the song "What Does the Fox Say."
