Bending The Bow by Robert Duncan
Poems 1938-1968
"Bending The Bow" is a collection of poetry that delves into the interplay between personal experience and historical events, blending mythological references with contemporary social issues. The poet navigates through various forms and styles, from lyrical to narrative, to explore themes of love, war, and the transformative power of art. The work reflects a deep engagement with the political turmoil of its time, particularly the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War, while also drawing on the poet's own life and the broader human condition, seeking to bend the bow of poetic tradition towards the targets of modern relevance and timeless truth.
