Yours Presently

Michael Seth Stewart teaches English at the University of Alabama. He is also the editor of Stars Seen in Person: Selected Journals of John Wieners.

"The passion, intelligence, and humility of John Wieners shines beautifully in Yours Presently. Michael Seth Stewart skillfully draws out the history and discusses constructions of literary coterie, small press activities, editing, funding, and performance to illustrate the primary concerns of poets in the mid-twentieth century while also locating those terms within the often troubled and sensitive reality of Wieners's experience."--Dale M. Smith, coeditor of An Open Map: The Correspondence of Robert Duncan and Charles Olson
