Clayton Eshleman has been at the heart of American poetry since the early 1960s. His poems, critical essays, and translations of poets as important and diverse as Cesar Vallejo, Aime Cesaire, Pablo Neruda, and Antonin Artaud, have earned him international acclaim. His Juniper Fuse: Upper Paleolithic Imagination & the Construction of the Underworld is a groundbreaking collection of poetry and prose that is the culmination of Eshleman's twenty-five years of research into the origins of image-making via the Ice Age painted caves of southwestern France. A new collection of poetry, Anticline, appeared in the spring of 2010.
