Synopsis

Having kept his poetry largely to himself for forty years, Scott Harney on his death left behind an astonishing trove of richly imagined and exquisitely sculpted poems, collected here for the first time.

One of Robert Lowell's last students, Harney went on to develop a voice which sings steady and true, rendering unforgettable images from the streets of his youth in Charlestown, MA, to the intimate scenes in his adopted city of Naples, with wisdom and humor. The people and places in these poems feel so close you could reach out and touch them.

Edited and introduced by Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Megan Marshall (Harney's Harvard classmate and partner), The Blood of San Gennaro will leave you wondering how such layered and echoing poems remained hidden for so long.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Scott Harney (1955-2019) was a practicing poet who, aside from a few early publications in the Somerville Community News, did not publish during his lifetime, leaving a significant body of work to be discovered by readers after his death. He grew up in and around Boston, graduating from Charlestown High School and Harvard College. His literary influences include Robert Lowell and Jane Shore, with whom he studied at Harvard in the 1970s, as well as Richard Hugo and Philip Levine.

Megan Marshall is the winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize in Biography for Margaret Fuller. She is also the author of The Peabody Sisters, which won the Francis Parkman Prize, the Mark Lynton History Prize, and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2006, and of 2017's Elizabeth Bishop: A Miracle for Breakfast. She is the Charles Wesley Emerson College Professor and teaches narrative nonfiction and the art of archival research in the MFA program at Emerson College. Most recently, Megan edited The Blood of San Gennaro by her late partner Scott Harney, published by Arrowsmith Press.
