first edition

1959 · New York

by Lowell, Robert.
New York: Farrar, Straus and Cudahy, 1959. First Edition. Octavo, green cloth (hardcover), 90 pp. Near-Fine, with slightly rubbed edges, in a Very Good+ dust jacket with light edgewear. In Life Studies, heartbreaking, shocking, grotesque and gentle, the inhesitant attack, the imagery and construction, are as brilliant as ever, but the mood is nostalgic and the meter is refined....tell us as much about the state of scoiety as a volume of Henry James at his best...more aware of those ironies of American history, grimmer about them, and yet hopeful. If more people read poetry, if it were more exportable and translatable, surely [Lowell’s] poems would go far towards changing, or at least unsettling, minds made up against us. Somehow or other, by fair means or foul, and in the middle of our worst century so far, we have produced a magnificent poet. (Inventory #: 17698scs)
