This is a pleasantly agreeable collection of a variety of prose pieces that they were all written at someone else's request. Much of the writing is quite charming, but many of the pieces are so slight that one wonders why Wilbur wanted to collect them. Having said that, some of his brief tributes or reminiscences about poets with whom he was personally acquainted are quite touching. The writings and interviews about his own poetry and translations make me want to become more familiar than I am with his poetry. The final article on the neglected American poet Witter Bynner seems out of scale in this context. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
The Catbird's Song is a selection of prose pieces, on a variety of topics, by one of the most distinguished poets and translators of our times, Richard Wilbur. These lectures, letters, reviews, addresses, prefaces, and interviews-what Wilbur calls the "prose by-products of a poet's life"-not only reveal the ideas and concerns that inform his remarkable oeuvre but also offer fresh takes on the works and lives of poets we thought we knew, poets we ought to know, and much more. Here, then, are his appreciations of Poe, Milton, Tennyson, and Longfellow; paeans to his contemporaries Elizabeth Bishop, Mae Swenson, and John Ciardi; an introduction to the work of the neglected poet Witter Bynner; his comments on some of his own poems; and thoughts on the art of translation. Throughout all, Wilbur's voice resonates with clarity, reason, and authority. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
