The new ebook from Argotist Ebooks is “The Jigoku Zoshi Hells: A Book of Variations” by Jerome Rothenberg
Description:
Jerome Rothenberg's "The Jigoku Zoshi Hells: A Book of Variations" is a series of new poems following the method of composition Rothenberg had previously used in "The Lorca Variations" and in homages to the work of other poets and artists. In the present set he applies the same procedure to an early work of his own, "The Seven Hells of the Jigoku Zoshi" (1962) – not to annihilate the original but to bring it into a new dimension, where both versions can lead an independent if interlinked existence. The fifty year gap between them adds its own strangeness to the mix.
