Poetry. Upon its original publication in 1982, FROM PEARL HARBOR DAY TO FDR'S BIRTHDAY, representing work written from the 7th of December 1981 to the 30th of January 1982, was recognized as a significant new direction in the writing of noted poet Jackson Mac Low. Although he had written disjunctive poems since the 1930's, this work evinced a new interest, aroused in part by the "Language" poets, in intentional methodology, as opposed to his chance-oriented poems, writing he continued in BLOOMSDAY (1984) and in PIECES O' SIX (published in the Sun & Moon Classics in 1992).
