Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is "Randall Jarrell" by Karl Shapiro. That's one Great Poet talking about another Great Poet. The book, a 47 page pamphlet, is the published form of a Lecture presented under the auspices of the Gertrude Clarke Whittall Poetry and Literature Fund, and published for The Library of Congress. The book was issued with a bibliography of Jarrell materials in the collections of the library of Congress. Randall Jarrell (1914 - 1965), was one of twentieth century America's most prominent poets. Jarrell, a poet largely influenced by Walt Whitman, Marianne Moore, and Wallace Stevens , among others, was honored with the National Book Award. Ironically, he is particularly remembered for his satiric novel, "Pictures From an Institution". His poetry will long be read and anthologized. Karl Shapiro (1813 - 2000), another prominent American poet, was once the Poet Laureate Consultant to the Library of congress. He was honored with a Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1945, and the Bollingen Prize for Poetry in 1969. Aside from his collected poetry, Shapiro is known for his book, "Essay on Rime", which is Presented in verse format. Randall Jarrell praised Shapiro's poetry, saying : "Karl Shapiro's poems are fresh and young and rash and live; their hard clear outlines, their flat bold colors create a world like that of a knowing and skillful neoprimitive painting, without any of the confusion or profundity of atmosphere, of aerial perspective, but with notable visual and satiric force. The poet early perfected a style, derived from Auden but decidedly individual, which he has not developed in later life but has temporarily replaced with the clear Rilke-like rhetoric of his Adam and Eve poems, the frankly Whitmanesque convolutions of his latest work." In this LOC booklet, Shapiro returns the compliment - in spades. The book starts : "This lecture is not a eulogy, not a memorial, not one of those exercises in objective perception of value for which the age of criticism is justly infamous. Randall Jarrell was not my friend; nor was he my enemy. But he was the poet whose poetry I admired and looked up to most after William Carlos Williams. This I said many times in many ways in my criticism. I praised his poetry more, and more wholeheartedly, than any other of his contemporaries." The lecture is well worth reading.

DUST JACKET : Not present Excerpted from "Essay on Rime" : The Rhetoric of Rime in "Ulysses" Lines 1037 - 1054 : Here we return to Joyce, the modern Lyly To some, to others the mighty sphinx of words. To him we put the question: Do you proceed from rime to prose or prose to rime or both? The riddle I believe is just; whoever Sees in Ulysses willy-nilly form Has not coped with the book as composition. The poet takes every measurement of a word, Weight, sound and size, before setting it in its preordained position in the line. The novelist works in larger scale; the mass To him is greater than the particle; Nor does he dare, for fear of interrupting The narrative momentum, to attract The eye upon a snag of rhetoric. Joyce measures every inch; each line can pass, By virtue of its word-by-word impact, As poetry of the highest skill. ANOTHER EXCERPT : The Darwinian Poet Lines 1570 - 1089 One wonders what the youth of Darwin's day Felt at his dread conclusion that the mind Of God-created man differs from that Of the Quadrumana only in degree And not in kind. I daresay he fell mute, Though possibly he merely yawned; the world Had come that distance from the sphere of faith Before the evolutionist; some despaired, Some paid no heed, but the significant Un art caught the Spencerian contagion And prophesied the new and perfect man. Nor can it be denied that man in spirit Had suffered a traumatic shock. The organic chain of human breeding-stock Saw the last mystery dispelled. The eye Appraised the man as beast, the beast as man, Sometimes with preference for the lower form. There is a passage in The Descent of Man Which matches in distemper Whitman's cry I think I could turn and live with animals.
