Selected Poems 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书

An Indiana native whose first publication came in 1941, Garrigue developed a poetic style that came to be known for its pulsating rhythms and romantic, symbolist motifs. The poems here were selected from her eight previously published collections. "The Circle," from her first collection, shows her eye for detail and her skill at conveying the lushness of nature: "The wood, swollen with mushrooms,/ Those rotting like excrement." As her poetry matured, her range grew to include the erotic: "The lover mirroring by his joy/ That flush beauty brings." In her prose poems, Garrigue's mellifluous voice carries the long lines, rippling along with a rich musicality. Selections from her highly praised Studies for an Actress and Other Poems ( LJ 2/1/73) include "The Grand Canyon," which some critics consider her finest poem, and range thematically from the autobiographical to a concern with pollution and the environment. Throughout, Garrigue's sureness of craft, firm voice, and wildness of imagination is evident, a testament to her poetic achievement. For most collections.
