Saving Elite/Elate Poems by Jonathan Williams

Review saving from M. Bromberg.

"This is the book which introduced me to Williams (for a time, the photograph of Little Enis on the cover had me convinced the title of this book was "Dancing Nightly") and his publishing venture, the Jargon Society. Williams is like a neighbor who comes to call with the most astounding stories: it's up to the reader to judge for himself the validity of Williams's claims to art, but his revelations are so entertaining that you can spend hours in JW's pleasant company. The Jargon Society was the original publisher of "White Trash Cooking," and, like that volume, "Elite/Elate Poems" describes an astonishing world that, for better or worse, is disappearing from the American scene."
