    About this ebook

    Kora in Hell: Improvisations, William Carlos Williams said, "is a unique book, not like any other I have written. It is the book I have enjoyed referring to more than any of the others. It reveals myself to me and perhaps that is why I have kept it to myself...I am indebted to Ezra Pound for the title. We had talked about Kora, the Greek parallel of Persephone, the legend of Springtime captured and take to Hades. I thought of myself as Springtime and I felt I was on my way to Hell (but didn't go very far). This is what the Improvisations were trying to say...."

    William Carlos Williams

    James Branch Cabell (1879-1958) was an American writer of escapist and fantasy fiction. Born into a wealthy family in the state of Virginia, Cabell attended the College of William and Mary, where he graduated in 1898 following a brief personal scandal. His first stories began to be published, launching a productive decade in which Cabell’s worked appeared in both Harper’s Monthly Magazine and The Saturday Evening Post. Over the next forty years, Cabell would go on to publish fifty-two books, many of them novels and short-story collections. A friend, colleague, and inspiration to such writers as Ellen Glasgow, H.L. Mencken, Sinclair Lewis, and Theodore Dreiser, James Branch Cabell is remembered as an iconoclastic pioneer of fantasy literature.

      It seems fair to suggest that the anxiety of influence—a creative necessity for so many poets—may have failed to penetrate the mobile-homed hamlets where Stanford roamed, rambled, mused, and wrote with prolific intensity. The post A Rare and Beautifu
