Book Description:
|
Arguably the leading poet of his generation, Robert Lowell was a poet whose work was always rhetorically gifted, original and open to change. Increasingly, it is clear that Lowell, troubled himself, was the poet who spoke for his troubled nation - fusing public and private. In an unofficial sense, Lowell was the American Laureate.
This selection, chosen by the poet himself, is the ideal introduction to a vast body of important work.
