I'm just reading about when he went to Harvard and took over from Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell. That sort of puts him into the semi-god status... but then I remember what a humble man he can be in interview, where you get all the nuances of inflection and accent and of course the humour and the twinkly eyes ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06280161801824435219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750601976843429146.post-69218341791147626692009-06-15T09:37:55.142+10:002009-06-15T09:37:55.142+10:00So many books: so little time.
Do you like Steppin...So many books: so little time.<br />Do you like Stepping stones? I thought it was a wonderful book. But I've always admired the way the man advocates and deflects. As a critic he celebrates rather than swats. Great too for finding poets to read. I forgave him Beowulf (as if that maters) when i read what he said about it.<br /><br />Troy town is definitely worth a look. Sometimes i felt it was a tad private, like I was overhearing a conversation, or needed footnotes, but it contains poems I wish I'd written. And ride a white horse is such a good rhyme it's probably more relevant company for Lady G than some links which have been suggested.Liam Guilarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031376624826567522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750601976843429146.post-34023503601585771352009-06-15T03:02:16.772+10:002009-06-15T03:02:16.772+10:00I've heard great things about Troy Town, but t...I've heard great things about Troy Town, but the days are not long enough ... at the moment, and I seem to be really caught up by classes and thinking about torture... thank you for the namecheck for Kairos - wow! <br /><br />I desparately need reading time soon - I have your LG sequence (looks impressive from first glance and I keep thinking of Ride a White Horse to Banbury Cross, don't know why...) here to read, along with about ten other books crying for my attention, but they've got to wait until I finish Stepping Stones! If only I had a second life tacked onto my first.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06280161801824435219noreply@blogger.com
