A powerful collection of new work written during the last years of McClure’s life\, Mule Kick Blues was readied for publication before the poet’s death in May 2020. Its opening section gives us a rare view into his thoughts about his own mortality\, particularly in the moving sequence “Death Poems.” The book takes its title from an innovative series of homages to blues musicians like Leadbelly and Howlin’ Wolf\, and evoking Kerouac’s concept of “blues” poems. Featuring shout-outs to lifelong friends like Philip Whalen\, Diane di Prima\, and Gary Snyder\, the long poem “Fragments of Narcissus\,” and the eco-logical and zen-infused themes for which he is known\, Mule Kick Blues is a definitive statement by one of the most significant American poets of the last sixty years. Introduction by poet Garrett Caples\, McClure’s editor at City Lights. \nEileen Myles is an acclaimed poet and writer who has published over twenty works of fiction\, poetry\, nonfiction\, and libretto. Their prizes and awards include a Guggenheim Fellowship\, a Warhol/Creative Capital grant\, an award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, and a poetry award from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. \nAnne Waldman co-founded the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at the Naropa Institute in Boulder\, Colorado\, where she still teaches.
