Samuel Menashe: New and Selected Poems: (American Poets Project #17) by Samuel M

Description: Samuel Menashe: New and Selected Poems by Samuel Menashe, Christopher Ricks Born in New York city in 1925, Samuel Menashe has practiced his art of compression and crystallization (in Derek Mahon's phrase) in poems that are brief in form but startingly wide-ranging and profound in their engagement with ultimate questions. Dana Gioia has written: Menashe is essentially a religious poet, though one without an orthodox creed. Nearly every poem he has ever published radiates a heightened religious awareness. Samuel Menashe is the first recipient of the Neglected Masters Award established by The Poetry Foundation, and this volume is published in conjunction with that honor. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The most comprehensive collection available of Menashes concise and powerfully suggestive poetrySamuel Menashe (1925-2011) was the first recipient of The Poetry FoundationsNeglected Masters Prize in 2004 and this volume was published in conjunction with that award. Born in New York City, Menashe practiced his art of "compression and crystallization" (in Derek Mahons phrase) in poems that are brief in form but startlingly wide-ranging and profound in their engagement with ultimate questions. Dana Gioia has written- "Menashe is essentially a religious poet, though one without an orthodox creed. Nearly every poem he has ever published radiates a heightened religious awareness."Intensely musical and rigorously constructed, Menashes poetry stands apart in its solitary meditative power. But it is equally a poetry of the everyday, suffused, in the words of Christopher Ricks, with "the courage of comedy, flanked by the respect of innocence." The humblest of objects, the minutest of natural forms here become powerfully suggestive, and even the shortest of the poems are spacious in the perspectives they open.About the American Poets ProjectElegantly designed in compact editions, printed on acid-free paper, and textually authoritative, the American Poets Project makes available the full range of the American poetic accomplishment, selected and introduced by todays most discerning poets and critics. Author Biography Christopher Ricks, editor of this volume, is Warren Professor of the Humanities and co-director of the Editorial Institute at Boston University, and the author of many distinguished works of criticism, includingMiltons Grand StyleandThe Force of Poetry.
