WILD PARTY - March, Joseph Moncure / Spiegelman, Art
Reservoir Books
Synopsis
Art Spiegelman illustrates this poem by Joseph Moncure March, 1928 a lost classic. The inventive and varied page design offer a perfect counterpoint to the tragedy of the twenties, when you dance frantically to the beat of jazz, glam and historical confusion. THE WILD PARTY is a poem that reaches out to readers of poetry and those who do not usually read poetry. The poem recreates a night of excitement for years of jazz. Where The Wild Party was first published, Louis Untermeyer said, is a fascinating and repulsive, vicious and vivid, shameless and stellar and above all, very powerful. It is a real tour de force.
