`In American culture . . . ,` wrote Michael Perkins, `Kostelanetz is an exception: a free voice.` Unhampered by the expectations of what another critic has called `official verse culture,` Kostelanetz has reemerged year after year as one of the most innovative and imaginative writers ever to appear in the United States. His writings have been a principal force in defining what is meant by `avant-garde,` and More WordWorks_ brings together cutting-edge work since 1994 in what promises to be one more sign that in the creation of the American New there are few writers who can approach Kostelanetz`s ambition and achievement.

From the Publisher
Richard Kostelanetz has for forty years been at the crest, and has indeed to some degree defined, the avant-garde in America. The recipient of numerous grants and awards from the NEA, ASCAP, Guggenheim Foundation, and others, he is the editor of many anthologies of innovative work and, above all, is the author of some of the most celebrated cutting-edge work in American writing. If the avant-garde can be said to have celebrities, Kostelanetz is certainly among the most prominent.
