I read Jim Atlas's biography of "Delmore" years ago. I certainly didn't come away with a view of Schwartz as a revolutionary--and I can't imagine Atlas, whom I knew from personal experience to be deeply hostile to the real radicalism of his and my time, having much interest in anyone who had to be understood on revolutionary terms.
These postings suggest that there is more to "Delmore" than we thought. Is it enough to spark an interest in an age where few read poetry and almost none read Lowell, Jarrell, Berryman and the other poets most closely associated with Schwartz? I suppose that if I want to understand this better, I will have to hold my nose and read Atlas's book again--or at least try to. An interesting, and--to me--surprising perspective. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
