Critical acclaim has been unanimous in declaring
PAUL METCALF a newly rediscovered genius.
"The publication of Metcalf's Collected Works ... is nothing less than an
event."
-LibraryJournal
"Metcalf maps an invaluable literary landscape, unrestrained by any form or
geography. At last, it is open to the general public."
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The great-grandson of Herman Melville and [one of the] last of the Black
Mountain writers, Metcalf possesses a passionate and dramatic sense of
American history. "
-ALA Booklist
"[Metcalf] echoes Ezra Pound's facility with disparate sources and William
Carlos Williams's fascination with the history of place."
