1. T. S. Eliot [electronic resource] [2006]
- Raine, Craig
- New York, NY : Oxford, 2006.
- Description
- Book — xxi, 202 p.
- Summary
-
The winner of the Nobel Trize for Literature, the twentieth century's most famous poet and its most influential literary arbiter, T.S. Eliot has long been thought to be an obscure and difficult poet-forbiddingly learned, maddeningly enigmatic. Now, in this brilliant exploration of T.S. Eliot's work, prize-winning poet Craig Raine reveals that, on the contrary, Eliot's poetry (and drama and criticism) can be seen as a unified and coherent body of work. Indeed, despite its manifest originality, its radical experimentation, and its dazzling formal variety, his verse yields meaning just as surely as other more conventional poetry. Raine argues that an implicit controlling theme-the buried life, or the failure of feeling-unfolds in surprisingly varied ways throughout Eliot's work. But alongside Eliot's desire "to live with all intensity" was also a distrust of "violent emotion for its own sake." Raine illuminates this paradoxical Eliot-an exacting anti-romantic realist, skeptical of the emotions, yet incessantly troubled by the fear of emotional failure-through close readings of such poems as "The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock, " "Gerontion, " The Hollow Men, Ash Wednesday, and many others. The heart of the book contains extended analyses of Eliot's two master works-The Waste Land and Four Quartets. Raine also examines Eliot's criticism-including his coinage of such key literary terms as the objective correlative, dissociation of sensibility, the auditory imagination-and he concludes with a convincing refutation of charges that Eliot was an anti-Semite. Here then is a volume absolutely indispensable for all admirers of T.S. Eliot and, in fact, for everyone who loves modern literature.

16. Lazare mon amour [2016]
- Aubry, Gwenaëlle, 1971-
- Paris : L'Iconoclaste, [2016]
- Description
- Book — 76 pages ; 18 cm
- Summary
-
"" Un jour on me demande d'écrire sur une autre, poète ou romancière, qu'importe, vivante ou morte (plutôt). Et tout de suite ce nom s'impose : Sylvia Plath. Je relis ses textes hypertendus, électrifiés, je regarde ses photos-caméléons. Je fais défiler ses masques, je bats les cartes de son tarot: la supernormal teenager et le Roi des abeilles, l'amante éblouie et la mère-épouse prisonnière de l'Amérique des fifties, les vierges folles, le rameau de peur, le vieux démon mélancolique, l'Oiseau de panique. À travers cette fragile image, cette icône suicidée, je cherche le point d'ajustement de l'écriture à la vie. Je cherche à comprendre ce que, par l'écriture, elle a sauvé de la vie et ce qui, de l'écriture, l'a sauvée elle aussi. Car je crois que Plath a été, dans les deux sens du terme, une survivante : pas seulement une qui est revenue d'entre les morts (Lady Lazare) mais aussi une qui a vécu à l'excès.""--Page 4 of cover.

17. Lorine Niedecker : a poet's life [2011]
- Peters, Margot.
- Madison, Wis. : University of Wisconsin Press, c2011.
- Description
- Book — viii, 326 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.
- Summary
-
Lorine Niedecker (1903-70) was a poet of extraordinary talent whose life and work were long enveloped in obscurity. After her death in 1970, poet Basil Bunting wrote that she was 'the most interesting woman poet America has yet produced . . . only beginning to be appreciated when she died.' Her poverty and arduous family life, the isolated home in Wisconsin that provided rich imagery for her work, and her unusual acquaintances have all contributed to Niedecker's enigmatic reputation. Margot Peters brings Lorine Niedecker's life out of the shadows in this first full biography of the poet. She depicts Niedecker's watery world on Blackhawk Island (near Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin), where she was born and spent most of her life. A brief college career cut short by family obligations and an equally brief marriage were followed in 1931 by the start of a life-changing correspondence and complicated thirty-five-year friendship with modernist poet Louis Zukofsky, who connected Niedecker to a literary lifeline of distant poets and magazines. Supporting herself by turns as a hospital scrubwoman and proofreader for a dairy journal, Niedecker made a late marriage to an industrial painter, which gave her time to write and publish her work in the final decades of her life. During her lifetime, Niedecker's poetry was praised by a relatively small literary circle, including Zukofsky, William Carlos Williams, Robert Creeley, Denise Levetov, and Allen Ginsberg. Since her death much more of her surviving writings have been published, including a comprehensive edition of collected works and two volumes of correspondence. Through Margot Peters's compelling biography, readers will discover Lorine Niedecker as a poet of spare and brilliant verse and a woman whose talent and grit carried her through periods of desperation and despair.
