From the printer's website: "E A Robinsons work has a documentary alertness about it, especially in his portraits of characters in Tilbury, a town he created to house the folk who inhabit many of his poems and exemplify his convictions about humanity. His poems were widely read and greatly praised during his life, and for some time after: he won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry three times. Yet particularly after the Second World War his reputation shifted largely into the academies, and he became a figure of the past to most readers - especially to the new generation of poetry readers from the 1950s and 60s who espoused the boisterous, gangling styles of Ginsberg, Kerouac and the Beats, the casual familiarities of Frank OHara or the self-consciousness of Black Mountain and the New York School. For all the unquestionably fine qualities of this New American Poetry (as Donald Allen titled his seminal anthology introducing these poets to the public) Robinsons work was too civil, thoughtful, and wise to survive in such company. His calm, considered voice would have been shouted down, and his observations passed off as inconsequential. The title poem of Loose Canons Two, Ben Jonson Entertains a Man from Stratford, is one of Robinsons several dramatic monologues, a form or device he inherited from an occasional tradition particularly evident in 19th century English poetry, and notably a feature of Robert Brownings work. This poem, written in fluid, colloquially adroit blank verse, is spoken by the playwright Ben Jonson, historically a close friend of Shakespeare who nevertheless found fault with certain elements of his writing and - at least in the context of Robinsons poem - of his character. The unidentified and fictional man from Stratford visiting Jonson in London is clearly someone who also knows Will Shakespeare personally, and Jonsons discussion of their mutual friend is illuminating and persuasive in itself; we are not, however, made aware of his guests responses." cord-tied hand-made paper wrappers.

Softcover. Condizione: Fine. Softcover. One of 120 copies Writes the press: Two of our Loose Canons pamphlets featuring neglected poets will be published in 2025: the first, a second edition of the poetry of Elinor Wylie from our earlier version of Loose Canons One, is expanded from 6 poems to 18; Loose Canons Two features poems by Edwin Arlington Robinson, with a focus on his long dramatic monologue 'Ben Jonson Entertains a Man from Stratford'. This revival of the Loose Canons series is devoted to refreshng the reputations of once celebrated poets and poems that over time have become blurred by distance, overlooked, or simply ignored.As will be the case with later additions to the series, each of these issues is intended to give a concise overview of the style and concerns of the poet in question. All the pamphlets will be hand-set in various types from the best editions of the texts, and each will offer a brief biographical note with other information as necessary. They will be sewn into a variety of cover papers and will be of a uniform size. The Loose Canons series will continue intermittently, but dependably. We intend them to provide a mix of writers in English from England, Canada, and America, and we may possibly introduce some translations from other languages as the series gather strength.
