Seller's Description:
Boston. 1955. Atlantic Monthly Press/Little Brown. 1st Edition. Very Good in Worn Dustjacket. hardcover. keywords: Poetry America. FROM THE PUBLISHER-THE SALT GARDEN (1955) marks a shift in the tone, style, and themes of Nemerov's poetry. Although his earlier poems were often abstract, esoteric, formal, and derivative of the works of such poets as T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, and Wallace Stevens, the poems in this volume are less rigid, impersonal, and bitter; they explore such subjects as perception, nature, and the duality of man. With this volume, Nemerov reached what many critics consider his poetic maturity; THE SALT GARDEN was also the first verse collection to bring Nemerov widespread critical and popular attention. inventory #18308.
