Beskrivelse
Selected Poems is compiled from the best works in Jean Garrigue's eight
published collections. Garrigue (1914-72) is recognized as a leading American
poet of the fifties and sixties. Among her awards and honors were a Guggenheim
fellowship and a National Institute of Arts and Letters grant.
"A wildly gifted poet. . . . Garrigue was our one lyric poet who made
ecstasy her home." --Stanley Kunitz
"Her way with language was Mozartian, breathtaking in its ability to
ring change after change on a theme, Mozartian bursts of language, never
leaving the subject, enabling the eye to see clearly, while delighting
the ear with sound." --Harvey Shapiro
"A brilliant poet. Her idiom is modern, yet has a kind of Book of Hours
simplicity." -- Robert Lowell
