Rezensionen
So masterful of rhythm, sound, and allusional texture that I hardly ever cared to know the meaning. This is what Stevens would have been if he'd been good at the technical aspects of poetry.
I have never read correspondence before (except in epistolary novels) so I was pleasantly surprised by how readable it was. These letters cover a 30 year span which allows the reader to really get to know Bishop and Lowell. I would recommend either reading their poetry first or having it handy to refer to as (not surprisingly) there are a lot of references to specific poems (even to specific lines or words in the poems).
This collection seems to have little bearing on the original [b:Selected Poems|6947805|Selected Poems|Robert Lowell|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1254841970s/6947805.jpg|1237929], published in 1965. It is a shame that the title couldn't have been something different... This expanded edition is a selection of what the editor thought were the best poems in each of Lowell's major books (including the original [b:Selected Poems|6947805|Selected Poems|Robert Lowell|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1254841970s/6947805.jpg|1237929] which was probably my least favorite part) and thus is more of a "best of" collection.
The editor has done a marvelous job with the notes in the appendix, and I also recommend reading the introduction (for once -- generally I dislike introductions!).… (mehr)
