The Nile on eBay   FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE   Essay on Rime by Karl Shapiro, Robert Phillips Now back in print, two brilliant verse-essays on poets and poetry by an American master FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description This book restores to print two important verse-essays on the art of poetry by one of America's most honored poets. "Trial of a Poet" was born of Karl Shapiro's serving on the jury that awarded the first Bollingen Prize in Poetry, voting on moral grounds against giving the prize to the winner, Ezra Pound. "Essay on Rime" confronts the confusions Shapiro found in poetry in general and in the work of many specific, noted poets. Shapiro wrote this 2072-line blank-verse meditation on "the treble confusion / In modern rime" in 1945, when he was thirty and serving a stint with the U.S. Army in the South Pacific--far from any library. Rich in both insight and example, "Essay on Rime" discusses a range of subjects, including prosody, idiom, Freud, rhetoric, grammar, Marxist poets, content, and translation. "Essay on Rime" also confronts the particular approaches of such poets as W. H. Auden, Hart Crane, e. e. cummings, Archibald MacLeish, Andrew Marvell, Pound, Walt Whitman, and W. B. Yeats. As David Lehman writes in his foreword, "More than a half century since it was written, this triumph of rhetoric retains its ability to provoke, instruct, and astound." Karl Shapiro (1913-2000) was a prolific poet, critic, essayist, editor of literary journals, and teacher. Robert Phillips is John and Rebecca Moores Scholar and Professor of English, University of Houston. Review "I read Karl Shapiro's 'Essay on Rime' soon after the end of World War II, when that young American soldier's treatise in verse was a literary sensation. It was a fresh, vigorous poem, and it helped me in my own work. A few years later in 1955-56 I wrote 'Treatise on Poetry' and I believe the idea for that book first came to me when reading the young Shapiro."This new edition of Karl Shapiro's Essay on Rime and Trial of a Poet restores two singular and ambitious works to the American canon. Simultaneously learned and streetwise, formal and improvisational, these poems of the World War II era still seem fresh and novel. There is nothing else like them--or Shapiro--in our literature.
