Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Louis Zukofsky (23 January 1904 – 12 May 1978) was an American poet. He was one of the founders and the primary theorist of the Objectivist group of poets and thus an important influence on subsequent generations of poets in America and abroad. Zukofsky was born in New Yorks Lower East Side to Lithuanian Jewish parents, father Pinchos (ca. 1860-1950) and mother Chana (1862–1927), both religiously orthodox, a tradition against which Zukofsky reacted early. Pinchos immigrated to the United States in 1898, working as a pants-presser and night watchman in New York’s garment district until he could send for his wife and children in 1903. The only one of his siblings born in America, Louis Zukofsky grew up speaking Yiddish and frequented Yiddish theatres in the Bowery where he saw works by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Strindberg, and Tolstoy performed in Yiddish translations. He read Longfellow's Hiawatha and Aeschylus's Prometheus Bound in Yiddish, too. His first real contact with English was when he started school but being a fast learner he had read all of Shakespeare's works in the original by the age of eleven.
