The poem 'Often I Am Permitted to Return to Meadow' opens
Robert Duncan's The Opening oj the Field, where he tries to perform
the olsonian 'composition by field', becoming involved in an adventure
of acknoledgements through the poem itself. One of the most striking
characteristics of his literary production is to link a word with a
concrete connotation that remains with that value in his poetic and
essayist work. This is what happens with 'meadow', in such a way that
it gets its own development not only in its grammatical form but also
in the theoretical and thematic aspects.
