Lowell has long been one of my favorite 20th century American poets. I especially like his early work--there's something about the stern, stentorian rhythm of the verse, combined with a hardscrabble New England outlook on life, that never fails to thrill. He's a formal master, alive to his influences, who also has a keen eye for the arresting detail and a penetrating honesty. Some of his poems, like The Quaker Graveyard in Nantucket, have haunted me for years. ( ) Lowell pushed into my head without any kind of politeness, without hesitation, and he has stuck like a burr ever since. I love his work, from Lord |Weary onwards. It was 1962 when I picked up a paperback Faber edition and found myself overwhelmed by the directness of his work. Farrar Strauss Giroux eventually got around to compiling his collected works years after Lowell died, but I thank them for it. It is worth the wait, and I reckon this great writer has immotality in his wonderful work. But who the hell knows? I could be entirely wrong.... geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
BevatImitations door Robert Lowell PrijzenErelijsten
"Frank Bidart and David Gewanter have compiled the definitive edition of Lowell's work, from his first, impossible-to-find collection, Land of Unlikeness, to the early triumph of Lord Weary's Castle, winner of the 1946 Pulitzer Prize; to the brilliant willfulness of his versions of poems by Sappho, Baudelaire, Rilke, Montale, and other masters in Imitations; to the late spontaneity of The Dolphin, winner of another Pulitzer Prize; to his last, most searching book, Day by Day. This volume also includes poems and translations never previously collected, and a selection of drafts that demonstrate the poet's constant drive to reimagine his work. Frank Bidart has contributed an introduction and an afterword that discuss Lowell's idiosyncratic approach to poem-making. The book includes voluminous notes and a glossary of important names."--Jacket. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
