Lorine Niedecker: an Emily Dickenson for the 21st Century:
John Lehman's book illuminates Lorine for you: her life, her friends, her loves, her work... I'd never heard of Lorine Niedecker. I knew Pound, Joyce, Eliot, Ginsberg, Woolf, Plath, Williams, etc. But no Niedecker. Niedecker: five line poems that shine. Not a word wasted. Less is more. The poems: funny, sad, filled with birds, trees, Thomas Jefferson, and water near by. She can illuminate life with five lines. Life's bits of knowledge learned from the Great Depression or as a cleaning woman in a hospital or historical research... Some family and friends didn't even know she wrote. Now we all know. So thanks to John Lehman for shouting in the desert about America's Greatest Unknown Poet: Lorine Niedecker. Read Niedecker: Collected Works.
