5-0 out of 5 stars Seemingly simple but complex plot brings out the nuances of moral choices
There is no author who can so exquisitely capture the elements of small southern towns as well as Robert Penn Warren (1905-1989).Years ago I read "All The Kings Men" and considered it the best book I had ever read.I've always meant to read more of his novels and recently picked up this 1971 "Meet Me in the Green Glen" in a used book store.Well, I started reading it about 7 p.m. last night, and couldn't put it down until it was finished at about midnight.It's rare that a book grabs my attention this way.It's times like this when I am reminded of the pure joy of reading.

This novel is set in the 1950s in rural Tennessee.It's a sad story with an overcast of melancholy throughout.This author is a master of the use of words though and I was constantly reminded that he made his name in literature as a poet.The main character is Cassie Spottwood.She's 42 years old and lives on a run-down farm where she has been nursing her paralyzed husband for the past 12 years.But then a young Italian man comes walking down the road.He's 24-year old Angelo Passeto who has his own problems to escape.He happens to be an ex-convict and needs a place to disappear to.Soon he fixing things and bringing life to the farm.And, naturally, as always in stories like this these two lonely people get involved in a romance.But the story not as simple as that.Eventually there is a murder and a trial.How it all plays out is the crux of the story.

The author uses the perfect details to set the time and the place. I felt I was actually going back in time and living the lives of these people.There's also a lawyer who has plans on running for office, a neighbor who once hoped to marry Cassie and a negro woman and her daughter who was fathered by Cassie's husband.Each character is brought to life through descriptions, through dialogue and through the situations the author sets them in.It's like a great big spider web as everyone in the town has memories and relations with everyone else.There are no real secrets although there is much that is unsaid.Little by little the author drew me into this world.It was not a pleasant world.But it was so well done that I was captivated by his use of words and the seemingly simple but yet complex plot which brings out the nuances of moral choices that constantly have to be made.

This book might not be for everyone, but I loved it and highly recommend it.

5-0 out of 5 stars Murder mystery in a Southern town

This is a riveting murder mystery/love story that keeps the reader guessing "who done it" even after the last page is read. A stranger (Angelo Passetto), an ex-con, comes to the small Southern town of Parkerton, where he becomes involved with Cassie Spottwood. Also "involved" with Cassie, though more in his imagination than in reality, is Murray Guilfort, her friend and "caretaker" since Cassie's husband Sunderland is bedridden and unable to oversee the farm they operate. One day Sunderland is murdered. Angelo is captured after leaving town, tried, convicted, and executed. But is he the real murderer? Both Cassie and Murray had motivation and means to commit the crime. Warren refuses to show his cards in the book. It's a most compelling story and is more than just a murder mystery: Warren delves deeply into the characters he created, especially Cassie, who is one of his most fascinating characters in all his novels. An intelligent, entertaining book, certainly worth checking out.

4-0 out of 5 stars Great writing.
This is a very good book, and the writing, particularily in the final chapters, is heartbreaking. The narrative arch is a little disjointed, though.

Warren's Flood or The Cave are much more powerful.

5-0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL FROM BEGINNING TO END
Warren is a master with words. The quality of the writing will keep you glued to the book until the very last page. This complicated tale of love gone bad is truly gripping. This book is no Jackie Collins or HarlequinRomance - it's REALLY REALLY GOOD. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
"When Robert Penn Warren asks, "what / Is man but his passion?" he exemplifies the type of artist that the British Romantics celebrated. Poems of Pure Imagination traces the development of Warren's poetic craft as influenced by that movement's ideals."--BOOK JACKET. "Lesa Carnes Corrigan lays out clearly the six-decades-long progression in Warren's Romantic vision - a combination of Wordsworth's tempered aesthetics and Yeats's awareness of historical violence and modern estrangement. She demonstrates how closely the poet associated his most deeply felt intuitions about art and life with the overarching philosophies of the Romantics."--BOOK JACKET. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description

As a man who disclaimed any kind of religious orthodoxy,Robert Penn Warren nonetheless found in Christianity "the deepest and widest metaphor for life." The significance he drew from itwas one he expressed strictly in humanistic and natural terms:spiritual renewal and redemption were possible through engagement with literature and participation in the world. In RobertPenn Warren's Modernist Spirituality, Robert Koppelmanexplores the spiritual or religious dimension to Warren's work in light of his admitted agnosticism.

Beginning with an overview of Warren's career as a Fugitive at Vanderbilt and then, later, as a formidable New Critic,Koppelman argues that Warren's regard for the spiritual aesthetic of both literary language and form can be traced to his earlystudy of poetic metaphor. To illustrate Warren's mature vision,Koppelman centers his study on two novels and two poetrycollections: All the King's Men, A Place to Come To,Promises: Poems 1954-1956, and Now and Then: Poems1976-1978. He also examines the critical studies thatconcentrate on Warren's vision of time, history, and spiritualfulfillment, as well as those essays by Warren that complementhis poems and novels in such a way as to elicit the reader'sparticipation in the redemption of their narrators.

Robert Penn Warren's Modernist Spiritualityrenews Warren's commitment to experiencing both literature andlife as opportunities to participate in a realm of beauty andvision that is still open to contemporary readers.
