Well, after that bit of seeming miscompreheion, I cannot remain silent. First, my personal evaluation of this is that it was and remains the single most striking piece ever written by Creeley. So striking in fact that a successful film (when films were still important) was titled "Drive, he said."
Creeley was probably the most influential figure associated with Black Mountain College in American North Carolina, besides being philoprogentive -- two wives, a handful of kids -- and was also involved with Charle Olson's
projective verse, a movement that interested William Carlos Williams among others. I have never warmed to Olson's windy egotism, nor have many others, but ah, Creeley, when not being coyly egocentric, could be very deep. Rather than say more here, I invite people to wrap their heads around a very different esthetic that is as compact as Japanese poetry, as swift as Homer, and often very stimulating.
