Babette Deutsch was a highly respected translator, having done Pushkin's "Eugene Onegin" into English, as well as a series of highly successful translations of Pasternak. Deutsch was a fine poet in her own right, as "Coming of Age" well displays. The write-up on the rear cover is worth quoting : "Babette Deutsch delights discriminating readers here and abroad. This book includes work from volumes published before 1945, more recent poems, and translations from Villon, Rilke, Pasternak, and others. Of the title poem poet Louise Bogan writes, 'You dazzle with your comprehension and presentation.' William Carlos Williams called it 'the equal of anything I have read in recent years.' Karl Shapiro comments : 'it's exciting to read a real ode.' " "The depth and range of this book have been recognized by many poets and critics. John Wain says of Ms Deutsch : 'She writes poignantly and memorably about things that matter . In England we have no woman poet as good, and very few poets of and discernible sex who write as cleanly and honestly.' Marianne Moore calls attention to her 'commanding stature as a poet.' Babette Deutsch served as Honorary Consultant to the Library of Congress." She was a graduate of The Ethical Culture School and Barnard College. *************************************** TITLE : Coming of Age / AUTHOR : Babette Deutsch (1895 - 1982) / IMPRINT : Indiana University Press / PLACE : Bloomington / DATE : (1963) / EDITION : First Paperback Edition (PPB 17) / PHYSICAL DETAILS : Trade Paperback; 160 pages; 5 1/8" x 7 7/8"; decorated wraps, glued. / CONDITION - VERY GOOD - Clean and bright with near-negligible wear - slight creasing to spine - there is a just discernible stress crease extending from spine on front cover at one point.
