Download or read book The Woman on the Bridge Over the Chicago River written by Allen R. Grossman and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 1979 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Woman on the Bridge over the Chicago River is Allen Grossman's first collection with New Directions. His voice is astonishingly contemporary, his often dissociated imagery bordering on the surreal--yet one hears in his verse classical and Biblical echoes and, on occasion, darker medieval undertones. The brilliance of his imagination works against a measured eloquence, setting up a fine-edged tension not unlike the prophetic verse of William Blake, the wild dithyrambs of David, or the more controlled metrics of Catullus and Villon.
