Extractions: Created with the CoffeeCup HTML Editor Fielder's Choice is a must-own book of poems. Robert Pinsky writes, "The unfeigned passion of Fielder's Choice, with Partridge's craft and her stringent intelligence, place it miles beyond most first books. A thrilling, memorable volume." Edited by Mary Jarrell Assisted by Stuart Wright and Stephen Burt Paper ISBN 0-8139-2153-8 $24.95 In this expanded edition of Randall Jarrell's letters, his widow, Mary, has added letters from Jarrell to Peter Taylor, publication of which was withheld during Taylor's lifetime. Taylor was, along with Robert Lowell, Jarrell's oldest and closest friend, and the inclusion of these incomparable letters adds another dimension of friendship, artistry, and intellect to a collection already noted for its behind-the-scenes glimpse of twentieth-century American literary history in the making.

Hij heeft eerst een aantal boeken vertaald voordat hij zelf begon te schrijven. Zijn plotselinge dood in 1965 zorgde ervoor dat hij ons maar een paar kinderboeken heeft nagelaten. Zijn stijl is sprookjesachtig, soms wat poëtisch.

Extractions: Fuquay-Varina High in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina Read another essay on Randall Jarrell written by California student David Villegas I. Upbringing, Education, Family and Professional Life "I feel just like an angel!" Most of the time we picture a writer as someone who is proper and is never caught doing something stupid. John Crowe Ransom, Jarrell's mentor and long-time friend, remembered an occasion that occurred late in the year 1939. Jarrell was flying down the Gambier hillsides on skies with his arms out flung, screaming, "I feel just like an angel!"an antic that was frowned upon by the Episcopal administration at Kenyon College. Just because someone can compose their emotions into a well-planned poem does not mean that they are composed and in control of their emotions all the time. There is pleasure in chaos and Jarrell allowed himself to enjoy it. Randall Jarrell was the first one of two born to Owen and Anna Jarrell in 1914. He was not the first child born but he was the oldest one living. Randall had an older sister who dies as an infant. This traumatic event was reflected in may of his works. An example of this "theme of a lost sibling" is "Orestes at Tauris." Jarrell grew up in rural Shelbyville, Tennessee and, from 1915 to 1925, lived in Long Beach, California. In 1925 Anna Campbell Jarrell took her sons back to Nashville after separating from their father. During the summer and fall of 1926 Randall stayed with his paternal grandparents in Hollywood frequently visiting his Aunt Bettie, who owned the MGM lion. However after that fall, he never wrote or saw them again.

Add to a Notebook Randall Jarrell Randall Jarrell was born in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1914. He earned bachelor's and master's degrees from Vanderbilt University. From 1937 to 1939 he taught at Kenyon College, where he met John Crowe Ransom and Robert Lowell , and then at the University of Texas. His first book of poems, Blood for a Stranger , was published in 1942, the same year he enlisted in the Army Air Corps. He soon left the Air Corps for the army and worked as a control tower operator, an experience which provided much material for his poetry. Jarrell's reputation as a poet was established in 1945, while he was still serving in the army, with the publication of his second book, Little Friend, Little Friend , which bitterly and dramatically documents the intense fears and moral struggles of young soldiers. Other volumes followed, all characterized by great technical skill, empathy with the lives of others, and an almost painful sensitivity. Following the war, Jarrell accepted a teaching position at the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, and remained there, except for occasional absences to teach elsewhere, until his death. Even more than for his poems, Jarrell is highly regarded as a peerless literary essayist, and was considered the most astute (and most feared) poetry critic of his generation. Randall Jarrell was struck by a car and killed at the age of 50 in 1965, in a death that may or may not have been a suicide.

Extractions: Source H Blood for a Stranger , in 1942. Meanwhile, encouraged by Edmund Wilson, who published him in The New Republic, he made a reputation for himself as a fierce and fiercely humorous critic of other poets. His penchant for the devasting one-line dismissal (e.g. Oscar Williams's poems give the impression of 'having been written on a typewriter by a typewritee) caused recipients acute pain, but established Jarrell, in his twenties, as a highly readable force to be reckoned with. In 1942 he entered the Army Air Force, but failed to qualify as a flyer and became a celestial training navigator in Tucson, Arizona. During his nearly four years of service he wrote many poems about the army and the war, accumulating the bulk of his next two books, Little Friend, Little Friend (1945) and Losses (1948). In these poems his earlier, Audenesque style modulated into a flatter, greyer, more homely idiom, appropriate for recreating the dailyness of barracks life as well as the disasters of combat. During the latter part of his service, in 1945, he wrote a number of letters to Lowell about the manuscript of Lowell's soon-to-be-published book of poems, Lord Weary's Castle letters filled with valuable suggestions for improving what Jarrell thought would be the most important poetry collection since Auden's Poems (1930). After the war Jarrell spent a year as literary editor of the

Extraordinary to think that 'political correctness' was so deliciously dissected 50 years ago."Noel Malcolm, Sunday Telegraph "Move over Dorothy Parker. Pictures . . . is less a novel than a series of poisonous portraits, set pieces, and endlessly quotable put-downs. Read it less for plot than sharp satire, Jarrell's forte."Mary Welp "I'm greatly impressed by the real fun, the incisive satire, the closeness of observation, and in the end by a kind of sympathy and human warmth. It's a remarkable book."Robert Penn Warren Subjects: The University of Chicago Press You may purchase this title at these fine bookstores .

Extractions: Nestus Gurley Genre Poem Keywords Aging Children Death and Dying Depression ... Time Summary Twice a day without fail, at dawn and in late afternoon, Nestus Gurley delivers the newspapers. The boy is a given in the narrator's life, inevitable, an almost mythic presence. While in the real world Nestus is simply an energetic lad ("He has four routes and makes a hundred dollars"), in the world of the narrator's imagination, "He delivers to me the Morning Star, the Evening Star." One morning the boy makes a paper hat that reminds the narrator "of our days and institutions, weaving / Baskets, being bathed, receiving / Electric shocks . . . " Throughout the poem the boy's steps tap an incomplete musical motif, a motif that needs only another note or two to become a tune. But what is the tune? And why is the tune so important? Even when in his grave on the morning of Judgment Day the narrator will recognize that step and say, "'It is Nestus Gurley.'" [81 lines] Commentary The title is suggestive of the "character poems" of Edgar Lee Masters in Spoon River Anthology or Edwin Arlington Robinson in Tilbury Town; for example

Extractions: Randall Jarrell was born on May 6, 1914 in Nashville, Tennessee, to Owen and Anna Campbell Jarrell. A single sister, died in infancy before Randall Jarrell's birth. Brother Charles was born in 1915 after the family had moved to California. His father worked as assistant to a children's photographer in Los Angeles but soon opened his own studio. Poor economic conditions forced the family to move to Long Beach, California. His mother had a "delicate constitution" to which Jarrell refers in the poem Hope . Relations between his parents became strained. His maternal uncle Howell Campbell, moved his mother and the children back to Nashville, Tennessee, and his parents divorced. His mother took a job as an English teacher at a secretarial school in Nashville. Randall Jarrell worked as a paper boy and sold Christmas wrappings door-to-door during this period. He did well in school and developed a love of libraries at the Carnegie Library in Nashville. A.B. Degree, Vanderbilt University. 1937 - 1939 Instructor, Kenyon College, Gambier, OH.
