| This important collection of poems, which spans a career of nearly fifty years, demonstrates Robert Mezey's development as a notable stylist, thinker and poet. Moving from adaptations of Latin and Spanish poems to prayers and lamentations, from elegies and plaints of lost love to flights of comic and ribald fancy, his poetry reaches to the extremes of human experience. The death of friends and family, one's self-betrayals and self-infatuations, the comical confusion of a worried mother, the art of a doomed Jewish child in a Nazi concentration camp-all these human dramas play out bravely against the backdrop of the beautiful indifferent earth. |
Annotation:
This collected volume reaches back to Mezey's first book, THE LOVEMAKER, the 1960 Lamont Poetry Selection, presenting his subsequent volumes in full, along with previously unpublished material.
