Great poet
Fine selection

The poet of hard reality
"There was more than sound. . . more than just an axe." The earlier poetry is predominately concerned with failure and misery, "the withered souls of men", as Robinson put it.(Robinson wrote much this poetry while working as a ticket collector on the New York subway, not long out of Harvard).Men have paid a price for their innocence and are unable, like Zola (whom he praises in a poem) to look squarely at the "compromising chart of hell" they have created.Great democratic mobs judge each others' grief, a grief they can seldom comprehend.Writers worship "the flicker and not the flame".Misery and the passing of things toll like a villanelle in most of Robinson's early work:"There is ruin and decay," "long centuries have come and gone," the world seems to be churning toward the "western gate" of darkness, death's portal. By contrast, the more mature Robinson is more interested in light and voices and spiritual illumination.He sees great value in our intellectual and spiritual struggles, our so-called "modern" ideas, even though they may be "some day be quaint as any [tale] told / In almagest or chronicle of old."The older Robinson does not fight against the ultimately unknowable realities.He is not a disjointed Romantic raging against the misnamed "encroachments" of time.He is glad that reality remains a mystery in the end, a great and indecipherable code of silent stars and sheaves of girl-like, golden wheat that speak love in their very silence.The world, like true poetry, has "a mighty meaning of a kind / That tells the more the more it is not told." I bought this book several years ago in Malta during a bout of homesickness and it has been blowing my mind ever since.Check it out! ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description At the time of his death in 1935, Edwin Arlington Robinson was regarded as the leading American poet-the equal of Frost and Stevens. In this biography, Scott Donaldson tells the intriguing story of this poet's life, based in large part on a previously unavailable trove of more than 3,000 personal letters, and recounts his profoundly important role in the development of modern American literature. Born in 1869, the youngest son of a well-to-do family in Gardiner, Maine, Robinson had two brothers: Dean, a doctor who became a drug addict, and Herman, an alcoholic who squandered the family fortune. Robinson never married, but he fell in love as many as three times, most lastingly with the woman who would become his brother Herman's wife. Despite his shyness, Robinson made many close friends, and he repeatedly went out of his way to give them his support and encouragement. Still, it was always poetry that drove him. He regarded writing poems as nothing less than his calling-what he had been put on earth to do. Struggling through long years of poverty and neglect, he achieved a voice and a subject matter all his own. He was the first to write about ordinary people and events-an honest butcher consumed by grief, a miser with "eyes like little dollars in the dark," ancient clerks in a dry goods store measuring out their days like bolts of cloth. In simple yet powerful rhetoric, he explored the interior worlds of the people around him. Robinson was a major poet and a pivotal figure in the course of modern American literature, yet over the years his reputation has declined. With his biography, Donaldson returns this remarkable talent to the pantheon of great American poets and sheds new light on his enduring legacy. Customer Reviews (4)
