4-0 out of 5 stars E.A. Robinson: A True Innovator of His Time
The Torrent and The Night Before is a book of poetry written by Edwin Arlington Robinson that features many of his great works. Robinson touches upon issues of small-town America and reflects his views; as a result, making his poetry relative, and interesting. He speaks honestly of many topics; including death, love, and isolation in short poems that demonstrate valuable morals. His traditional style of blank verse flows eloquently and without a glitch. Robinson's fluent expertise of the English language is present in all of his work, making his poetry enjoyable to read.
While skimming over the book upon its arrival, I became immediately overwhelmed. Once I finally worked up the courage to sit down and attempt to read it, I found that my predictions were relatively mistaken. In fact, the colloquial language was moderately simple, and the rhyming verses were quite engaging. As for the subject matter, it was basically a cynical view based upon the cultural decay of the 19th century. Some of the material was pessimistic, and left me with a feeling of depression. However, it is a major stray from the conventional `two roads diverged in a yellow wood...' Nevertheless, don't despair; the poems require intense reading to truly be evaluated, and or appreciated.
"Robinson's poetry deserves the attention it does not contrive to attract," (Barnard, Centenary Essays, 66) is a statement I agree with entirely. I recommend this book, and others written by Edwin Arlington Robinson to readers of all ages. I suggest the reader be open-minded, and not discount the authors skill, simply because they were flooded by the distressing themes. After reading this book, I became more tolerant and accepting to classic works, thus concluding that one should `never judge a book by its cover' (literally!)And as for Robinson's renowned title as an innovator of his time, well, I guess you could say he chose the road not taken. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Cursed the day that he was born
Edwin Arlington Robinson is a poet little read today. This paradoxically after he late in life, after long years of struggle became well known for a romantic poem 'Tristam' which is long forgotten.
If Robinson is read today it is for those devastating and chilling portraits in verse of lone individuals and their plight, the most famous of which are Miniver Cheevy, Reuben Bright, and Richard Cory.
Robinson himself had a lonely and difficult life.
I doubt that the Poetry Establishment of today finds much in Robinson. I remember however reading these poems in school and feeling them powerful and puzzling.
The contrast between the brilliant external life envied by the narrator in Richard Cory and his actual situation when ' goes home and puts a bullet in his head' startles and shocks. The regret of Miniver Cheevy cursing the day he was born, and longing to live in days of old, too exposes human aspiration as folly and vanity.
These poems throw cold water on the face of optimistic America, but like Sherwood Anderson and Thornton Wilder they reveal truths about small- town American life which are universal truths about the human situation.

4-0 out of 5 stars The Drunken Dreamer
While he sits to drink-glub -glub and dreams the day away Our dear old fool the man of drink is useless anyway. And so you see my comrades the fanciful is evil's seed alchahol's for devils lacking what they need. This poetry of satire wards and fends us all from denouement disaster and the one great fall.

As you can tell, we thoroughly enjoyed the title poem and all following works. While we feel that Robinson throughout his poetry maintains a relatively decent standard of excellance through use of rhyme scheme and subject matter - he doesn't quiet live up to the qualifications to be considered "one of the greats". Thus, his work, while good, isn't quite great and we have decided to liberally reward him with our kindness of a 4. Thank you for your time. It was well wasted.

4-0 out of 5 stars Classic Robinson
This book is classic Robison.It is a collection of his poems.Including the great and not-so-great poems.His works are wonderful and easy to relate to.Robinson was interested in those who suceeded personally, notsecularly.Well done. ... Read more
