Product Description

Poet, novelist, literary critic, and teacher, Randall Jarrell was a writer with many facets, but most of all, he was a poet with a unique voice, one that was by turns imaginative, realistic, sensitive, and ironic. From the narratives of army life during the Second World War to the domestic scenes he wrote about so movingly in his final book, The Lost World, Jarrell's poems are marked throughout by a voice that could be astonishingly intimate or could open up to speak to our common humanity. This collection, prepared by William H. Pritchard, presents some of Jarrell's finest poems to a new generation of readers.

About the Author

Randall Jarrell (1914-65) received the National Book Award for his collection The Woman at the Washington Zoo. He died after being struck by a car in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where he was teaching at the time.

Amazon.com: 5.0 out of 5 stars (1 customer review)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Volume, Highly Recommended, Oct 10 2011

By J. Cohen - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Selected Poems (Paperback)

An excellent sampling of Jarrell's best poems. Highly recommended. This volume should suffice for most readers since the Collected Poems is really only for the hardcore Jarrell fan. If you've never read Jarrell, this book provides a great introduction.
