About This Item
Washington, DC: The Gertrude Clarke Whittall Poetry and Literature Fund, 1967. Presumed first edition/first printing. Wraps. Good. No dust jacket. Cover has some wear and soiling. Scuff on front cover.. v, [1], 47, [1] p. 24 cm. Published for the Library of Congress. Karl Jay Shapiro (November 10, 1913 May 14, 2000) was an American poet. He was the fifth Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress. Randall Jarrell (May 6, 1914 October 14, 1965) was an American poet, literary critic, children's author, essayist, novelist, and the 11th Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress, a position that now bears the title Poet Laureate. From the start of his writing career, Jarrell earned a solid reputation as an influential poetry critic. Encouraged by Edmund Wilson, who published Jarrell's criticism in The New Republic, Jarrell developed his style of critique which was often witty and sometimes fiercely critical. However, as he got older, his criticism began to change, showing a more positive emphasis. His appreciations of Robert Lowell and William Carlos Williams helped to establish or resuscitate their reputations as significant American poets.
