<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Second printing, 1995"--Title page verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A pivotal book in Robert Lowell's groundbreaking career, <i>Notebook</i> is, as Seamus Heaney has written, a massive accumulation of unrhymed sonnets, poems of immeditae, unprepossessing, blunt-edged force, which record not so much the public events of [the late 1960s] as the reactions which the events provoked in Lowell's consciousness.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The poet offers an account of his personal history as it has painstakingly ordered itself in images. It is the response of a racked but magnanimous mind, the response of a poet. . . . Many of the events [in <i>Notebook</i>] are drawn from our common history, our wars and demonstrations, our assassinations and riots. Throughout burns a passionate intelligence, a conscience, which the reader feels is trustworthy." --<i>William Meredith, The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>"What Lowell has done is to make poetry difficult again. This has nothing to do with intellectual puzzles: instead, it is the more strenuous creative difficulty of a poetry molded precisely to a powerful and mature talent. [Lowell] appears in <i>Notebook</i> as a very subtle man, unashamedly intelligent, well read and alert, whose poems are at once delicate and piercing." --<i>A. Alvarez, The Observer (London)</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Robert Lowell</b> (1917-77) was the renowned and controversial author of many books of poetry, including <i>Day by Day, The Dolphin</i>, and <i>History</i>. FSG also published his <i>Collected Prose</i> in 1987.</p>
