Loneliness is god and goddess of the lonely Such insane notions reprieves insanity, and Pathetic hermitism is savior and troubadour To those blasphemed by the public gallows And the shallow cull of pink-plastic dolls Society's mindlessness twirls under the strobes And commingle with crowded philistinism While the solitary-hundreds gaggle about The tables and brass rails of achievement Wine and perception is a stronger medicine

This book offers the most comprehensive and detailed reading to date of Song of Myself. One of the most distinguished critics in Whitman Studies, Ed Folsom, and one of the nation’s most prominent writers and literary figures, Christopher Merrill, carry on a dialog with Whitman, and with each other, section by section, as they invite readers to enter into the conversation about how the poem develops, moves, improvises, and surprises. Instead of picking and choosing particular passages to support a reading of the poem, Folsom and Merrill take Whitman at his word and interact with “every atom” of his work. The book presents Whitman’s final version of the poem, arranged in fifty-two sections; each section is followed by Folsom’s detailed critical examination of the passage, and then Merrill offers a poet’s perspective, suggesting broader contexts for thinking about both the passage in question and the entire poem.

Seamus Heaney, Denis Donoghue, William Pritchard, Marilyn Butler, Harold Bloom, and many others have praised Helen Vendler as one of the most attentive readers of poetry. Here, Vendler turns her illuminating skills as a critic to 150 selected poems of Emily Dickinson. As she did in The Art of Shakespeare’s Sonnets, she serves as an incomparable guide, considering both stylistic and imaginative features of the poems. In selecting these poems for commentary Vendler chooses to exhibit many aspects of Dickinson’s work as a poet, “from her first-person poems to the poems of grand abstraction, from her ecstatic verses to her unparalleled depictions of emotional numbness, from her comic anecdotes to her painful poems of aftermath.” Included here are many expected favorites as well as more complex and less often anthologized poems. Taken together, Vendler’s selection reveals Emily Dickinson’s development as a poet, her astonishing range, and her revelation of what Wordsworth called “the history and science of feeling.” In accompanying commentaries Vendler offers a deeper acquaintance with Dickinson the writer, “the inventive conceiver and linguistic shaper of her perennial themes.” All of Dickinson’s preoccupations—death, religion, love, the natural world, the nature of thought—are explored here in detail, but Vendler always takes care to emphasize the poet’s startling imagination and the ingenuity of her linguistic invention. Whether exploring less familiar poems or favorites we thought we knew, Vendler reveals Dickinson as “a master” of a revolutionary verse-language of immediacy and power. Dickinson: Selected Poems and Commentaries will be an indispensable reference work for students of Dickinson and readers of lyric poetry.

The poetry of John Berryman occupies an incomparable place in modern American literature. This study traces the composition of the major poems, and interprets Berryman's characteristic trials and his imaginative triumphs. In Homage to Mistress Bradstreet , which Edmund Wilson called ' the most distinguished long poem by an American since The Waste Land ', Berryman set himself enormous problems of theme and form, and overcame them with the vigorous and exciting craft that is described in this book. He transformed his personal concerns and historical interests into a fully achieved artistic unity, a poem which succeeds both as lyric and as drama. Similarly, in forging the thirteen-year 'epic' of The Dream Songs , 'the tragical history of Henry', as the poet himself called it, Berryman resolutely confronted chosen models such as Don Quixote and The Iliad , and eventually realised his own design and a unique poetic voice. 'I set up the 'Bradstreet' poem as an attack on 'The Waste Land' ' Berryman said in his National Book Award Acceptance Speech; 'I set up ' The Dream Songs ' as hostile to every visible tendency in both American and English poetry...The aim was the same in both poems: the reproduction or invention of the motions of a human personality, free and determined, in one case feminine, in the other masculine.' A chief feature of this study is the remarkably extensive use John Haffenden has made of primary research materials - manuscript drafts, notes, marginalia, diary entries and letters, all of which are printed here for the first time - to illuminate and explain the poems. This book is both a critical analysis of Berryman's mature works and an internal narrative of the poet's struggles and success. It includes comprehensive notes and commentary on 'The Dream Songs' and on 'Delusions, Etc.' , as well as an authoritative discussion and assesment of 'Love & Fame'.

The poet, Rumi, once said: I am burning. If anyone lacks tinder, let him set his rubbish ablaze with my fire. And so, the fire has gone forth from poet to reader ever since. Of all the literature and poetry of the English language, none is more ablaze with the fire of passion than the writings of early America, which contained a magical spirit of newness and adventure etched in its very pages. When visiting the prairies for the first time, the poet William Cullen Bryant was overwhelmed by their vastness, none from the old world ever having witnessed such a sight, and said: These are the gardens of the Desert, these The unshorn fields, boundless and beautiful, For which the speech of England has no name. So much that was to happen in early America was something new, a thing for which the speech of England yet had no name. A new form of government which had never been tried was overseeing a new blending of peoples who explored new places and formed new ways of living never before attempted. As Thoreau said in the opening pages of Walden: Man's capacities have never been measured; nor are we to judge of what he can do by any precedents, so little has been tried. The poems and writings contained in this book are not those you'll be quick to find filling the nearly endless volumes and collections of every bookstore and library - those poems which speak to the mind of the academic more than the heart of the common person. The poems and writings in this book are those which have a true fire to impart to the longing soul. As you read the pages of this volume, allow your thinking to expand, and your heart to long for a greater measure of life than you have thus far lived. When we are unhurried and wise, we perceive that only great and worthy things have any absolute and permanent existence, that petty fears and petty pleasures are but the shadow of reality.Thoreau Table of Contents 1) Introduction to Walden2) Walden by Henry David Thoreau 3) The Life of Inspiration 4) Introduction to Poetry 5) Edna St Vincent Millay 6) Sara Teasdale 7) Robert Frost 8) William Cullen Bryant 9) Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 10) John Greenleaf Whittier 11) Benjamin Mester
