Your love will let you go on" were reputedly [Jack] Spicer's last words, and a fitting title to this single-volume monument to his enigmatic muse. Peter Gizzi, who previously edited Spicer's lectures, and Kevin Killian, his biographer, selected this work from out-of-print rarities. The result is a monument to a unique voice, if also to an acidic, lovelorn, provoking one.Described as often being "morose and grouchy" in person, on the page Spicer is not only that but sometimes humorous as well. And he seemingly did not much trust poetry, or words in general.
