<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>From the narratives of army life during World War Two to the domestic and familial scenes of his final book, this selection presents Jarrell's art at its best, comparable in power and variety to that of his contemporaries Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Bishop.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Poet, novelist, literary critic, and teacher, Randall Jarrell was a writer with many facets, but most of all, he was a poet with a unique voice, one that was by turns imaginative, realistic, sensitive, and ironic. From the narratives of army life during the Second World War to the domestic scenes he wrote about so movingly in his final book, <i>The Lost World</i>, Jarrell's poems are marked throughout by a voice that could be astonishingly intimate or could open up to speak to our common humanity. This collection, prepared by William H. Pritchard, presents some of Jarrell's finest poems to a new generation of readers.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Without losing this sensitivity, the poet gains in stature in his war poems, some of which are fine indeed. His is a distinct talent, not altogether developed, but certainly promising- and it will find an initiated audience. -<i> Kirkus Reviews </i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Randall Jarrell </b>(1914-65) received the National Book Award for his collection <i>The Woman at the Washington Zoo. </i>He died after being struck by a car in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where he was teaching at the time.</p>
