Soft cover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Trade Paperback Edition. AUDACIOUS: DAZZLING: EPIC: CLASSIC: STARTLING: NEW First Knopf Trade Paperback Edition (September 10, 1993) Seventh Printing (April 2001) * 5.64" x 8.96" x 1.50", kg, viii+560+viii (576) pp * CONTENTS: I. THE BOOK OF EPHRAIM (1), II. MIRABELL'S BOOK OF NUMBERS (93), III.SCRIPTS FOR THE PAGEANT (277), IV. CODA: THE HIGHER KEYS (519) * ABOUT THE BOOK: James Merrill's audacious & dazzling epic poem, "The Changing Light at Sandover", remains as startling today as when it first emerged in separate volumes over a period of several years. Individual parts won the Pulitzer Prize & the National Book Award, & the entire poem, when it was collected into one volume in 1982, won the National Book Critics Circle Award. It is now an American classic, presented here in this definitive edition. The book carries us to the scene of Merrill's Ouija board sessions with his partner, David Jackson, the candlelit Stonington dining room w/ its flame-colored walls & the famous Willowware cup they used as a pointer in their occult travels. In a shimmering interplay of verse forms, Merrill set down their extended conversations w/ their familiar & guide, Ephraim (a first-century Greek Jew), W.H. Auden, W.B. Yeats, Plato, a brilliant peacock named Mirabell, & other old friends who had passed to the other side. Readers are also introduced to the lonely eminence God B, his sister Mother Nature, & a host of angels & lesser residents of the empyrean who are variously involved in the ways of this world. The laughter, the missteps, & the schoolroom frustrations make this otherworldly journey, finally, an utterly human one. A unique exploration of the writer's role in a post-atomic, post-religious age, "Sandover" has been compared to the work of Yeats, Proust, Milton, & Blake. Merrill's tale of the joys & tragedies of mana's powers, & his message about the importance of our endangered efforts to make a good life on earth, will stand as one of the most profound experiences available to readers of poetry. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "'The Book of Ephraim' [is] an occult splendor in which Merrill rivals Yeats' 'A VIsion', Stevens' ghostly 'The Owl in the Sarcophagus', & even some aspects of Proust. I don't know that 'The Book of Ephraim' can be over-praised, as nothing since the greatest writers of our century equals it in daemonic force. -Harold Bloom "James Merrill has created a poem as central to our generation as 'The Waste Land' was to the one before us. 'Mirabell' holds a mirror up tp our deepest fears: that our actions are impelled, not chosen; that we cannot assimilate the increasing complex way in which our world must be viewed; that we have lost religion & morality; that our race is doomed to extinction. But at the same time it acknowledges this state of affairs, the poems offers numerous reassurances that we can be saved by 'the life raft f language'--that beyond our mystic vision gleams a profounder understanding of life than we have yet conceived." -Phoebe Pettingell * ABOUT THE POET: James Merrill was born on March 3, 1926, in New York City & died on February 6, 1995. From the mid-1950s on, he lived in Stonington, Connecticut, & for extended periods he also had houses in Athens & Key West. From "The Black Swan" (1946) through "A Scattering of Salts" (1995), he wrote 12 books of poems, 10 of them published in trade editions, as well as "The Changing Light at Sandover" (1982). He also published two plays, "The Immortal Husband" (1956) & "The Bait" (1960); two novels, "The Seraglio" (1957, reissued 1987) & "The (Diblos) Notebook" (1965, reissued 1994); a book of essays, interviews, & reviews, "Recitative" (1986); & a memoir, "A Different Person" (1993). Over the years, he was the winner of numerous awards for his poetry, including 2 National Book Awards, the Bollingen Prize, the Pulitzer Prize, & the Bobbitt Prize from the Library of Congress. He was a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets" & a member of the American Academy of Arts & Letters.
