A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

No one expects a man to make a chair without first learning how, but there is a popular impression that the poet is born, not made, and that his verses burst from his overflowing heart of themselves. As a matter of fact, the poet must learn his trade in the same manner, and with the same painstaking care, as the cabinet-maker. His heart may overflow with high thoughts and sparkling fancies, but if he cannot convey them to his reader by means of the written word he has no claim to be considered a poet. A workman may be pardoned, therefore, for spending a few moments to explain and describe the technique of his trade. A work of beauty which cannot stand an intimate examination is a poor and jerry-built thing.

Her collections of verse include Sword Blades and Poppy Seeds (1914); Men, Women and Ghosts (1916); and Ballads for Sale (1927). Lowell won a Pulitzer Prize for her poetic collection What's O Clock (1925). Her major works of criticism are Tendencies in Modern American Poetry (1917), and a biography of John Keats (1925).
