Paradox Poem

Examining the poet's view of the human body and issues of embodiment, Colwell provides an accessible, close reading of Bishop's poetry. Inscrutable Houses examines Elizabeth Bishop's paradoxical relationship to the concept of embodiment as it evolves in the poems of her four published books. Anne Colwell looks at how Bishop uses metaphors of the body to express her powerful ambivalence about human form, at how Bishop moves between pessimism, expressing the idea that the body is the reason for all human loss and misunderstanding, and optimism, seeing the body as the medium for all human connection, for love and knowledge. A combined focus on metaphors of the body in her published work and Bishop's means of arriving at these metaphors through her compositional process therefore highlights important connections between the poet's work and her life, particularly her childhood losses, the influence of contemporary poets, and her personal relationships. Bishop published four collections of poetry, numerous short stories, autobiographical sketches, and several prose pieces on travel. Her double collection titled Poems: North and South -- A Cold Spring, published in 1955, won the Pulitzer Prize, and the later collection Complete Poems (1969) earned her the National Book Award. Colwell's innovative reading not only is valuable in itself but also gives deeper insight into a great and influential poet and contributes to the arguments of more overtly theoretical readings of Bishop's work. "Colwell's work, with its steady focus on Bishop's poems, leads us back to the texts in important and innovative ways, revealing in a new light Bishop's abundant, stunning accomplishments". -- JoanneFeit Diehl Bowdoin College "Anne Colwell's accessible and engaging study offers a striking, coherent analysis and summary of Bishop's poetic development and impressively forthright and helpful readings of her poems -- both major and minor.

The publication of James Merrill's "Collected Poems is a landmark in the history of modern American literature. His "First Poems--its sophistication and virtuosity were recognized at once--appeared half a century ago. Over the next five decades, Merrill's range broadened and his voice took on its characteristic richness. In book after book, his urbanity and wit, his intriguing images and paradoxes, shone with a rare brilliance. As he once told an interviewer, he "looked for English in its billiard-table sense--words that have been set spinning against their own gravity." But beneath their surface glamour, his poems were driven by an audacious imagination that continually sought to deepen and refine our perspectives on experience. Among other roles, he was one of the supreme love poets of the twentieth century. In delicate lyric or complex narrative, this book abounds with what he once called his "chronicles of love and loss." Like Wallace Stevens and W. H. Auden before him, Merrill sought to quicken the pulse of a poem in surprising and compelling ways--ways, indeed, that changed how we came to see our own lives. Years ago, the critic Helen Vendler spoke for others when she wrote of Merrill, "The time eventually comes, in a good poet's career, when readers actively wait for his books: to know that someone out there is writing down your century, your generation, your language, your life . . . He has become one of our indispensable poets." This book brings together a remarkable body of work in an authoritative edition. From Merrill's privately printed book, "The Black Swan, published in 1946, to his posthumous collection, "A Scattering of Salts, which appeared in 1995, all of thepoems he published are included, except for juvenalia and his epic, "The Changing Light at Sandover.
