Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First printing. A Good copy. A clean, unmarked copy. Full text. Note: Light toning on spine (as pictured). 8vo, pp. 187. Barbara Howes (1914 - 1996 ) was an American poet. Her work was published in, Atlantic, Chicago Review, New Directions, New Republic, New Yorker, New York Times Book Review, Saturday Review, Southern Review, University of Kansas Review, Virginia Quarterly Review, and Yale Review and she was nominated for the 1995 National Book Award for The Collected Poems of Barbara Howes, 1945-1990. From the Poetry Foundation: Barbara Howes grew up in a suburb of Boston. Educated at Bennington College in Vermont, she moved to New York City after graduation. While submitting her poetry to magazines, Howes got a job editing Chimera: A Literary Magazine from 1944 to 1947. Although the job kept her from her own writing for several years, it would prove to be valuable, not only because it put her in contact with numerous other writers living in the city, but also because of the editorial skills Howes developed. These skills would be put to good use several years later when she edited several acclaimed short story anthologies: From the Green Antilles: Writings of the Caribbean (1966), The Eye of the Heart: Short Stories from Latin America (1973), and The Sea-Green Horse (1970) a young-adult short story anthology Howes compiled with her son, Gregory Jay Smith. Despite being nominated for the 1995 National Book Award for her The Collected Poems of Barbara Howes, 1945-1990, the work of poet Barbara Howes has received relatively little publicity; Robert Richman, writing in the New York Times, called Howes as obscure a worthy poet as I can think of. Usually alternating her backdrop between the gentle climate of the West Indies and the harsher landscape of her native New England, Howes s verses paint a world of family, natural surroundings, and the wisdom inherent in natural inclinations. I might say that my poems are about relationships, she wrote by way of explanation in an essay published in Contemporary Authors Autobiography Series (CAAS) the relation of the poet s eye, mind, and heart to reality.p.…
