This book is a voyage in revelatory prose and poetry into the life and work of Herman Melville, a giant of American and world literature. It offers unique poetic perspectives on the shattering death of his father when he was twelve, his sailor’s mystic reveries in the South Seas, his emergence as a famous young author, and the very difficult familial and artistic struggles that ensued.
The great works Moby Dick, The Confidence Man, Bartleby, and Billy Budd, as well as the more obscure epic poem Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land and the neglected small prose masterpiece “Daniel Orme”, engender original creative responses that transcend biographical and literary genre. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the man and his work. As a metaphysical engagement with a lofty authorial soul, it has a timeless relevance for lovers of truly searching literature.
Ivan Klein, a published poet and essayist, has been a student of Melville for decades. He has read his work on the subject at international conferences of the Melville Society in Jerusalem and New York. This book is an outgrowth of that long engagement and his affinity for the author’s world view and poetics.
