<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Not quite translations--yet something much more, much richer, than mere tributes to their original versions--the poems in <i>Imitations </i>reflect Lowell's conceptual, historical, literary, and aesthetic engagements with a diverse range of voices from the Western canon. Moving chronologically from Homer to Pasternak--and including such master poets en route as Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Rilke, and Montale--the fascinating and hugely informed pieces in this book are themselves meant to be read as a whole, according to Lowell's telling Introduction, a single volume, a small anthology of European poetry.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"<i>Imitations</i> is, so far as I know, the only book of its kind in literature . . . Lowell, who has used materials from other writers, all the way from Homer and Pasternak, has produced a volume of verse which consists of variations on themes provided by these other poets and which is really an original sequence by Robert Lowell of Boston." --<i>Edmund Wilson</i> <p/>"The book has a twofold fascination: it gives access to the private realm of a major poet, showing us how he reads his masters and peers . . . At the same time it provides the reader with . . . creative echoes to a number of important poems." --<i>George Steiner</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Robert Lowell</b>, one of America's great men of letters, died in 1977.</p>
