Selected Poems of Janet Lewis

by Janet Lewis

Selected Poems of Janet Lewis Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Since the appearance in print of her early poems over seventy-five years ago, the poetry of Janet Lewis has grown in quiet acclaim and popularity. Although she is better known as a novelist of historical fiction, her first and last writings were poems. With the publication of her selected poems, Swallow Press celebrates the distinguished career of one of its most cherished authors.<P>Critics as disparate as Kenneth Rexroth, Timothy Steele, Theodore Roethke, Larry McMurtry, N. Scott Momaday, and Dana Gioia have sung the praises of her work over the decades. Her career as a poet was remarkable not only for its longevity but also for the fact that even well into her tenth decade she wrote poems that stand with her very best work.<P>Characterized by the vigor and sharpness of her images and the understated lyricism that permeates her rhythmic lines. The Selected Poems of Janet Lewis is a survey of modern poetry unto itself.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 109) and index.
