Not quite translations--yet something much more, much richer, than mere tributes to their original versions--the poems in Imitations reflect Lowell's conceptual, historical, literary, and aesthetic engagements with a diverse range of voices from the Western canon. Moving chronologically from Homer to Pasternak--and including such master poets en route as Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Rilke, and Montale--the fascinating and hugely informed pieces in this book are themselves meant to be read as "a whole," according to Lowell's telling Introduction, "a single volume, a small anthology of European poetry."

About Robert Lowell

Robert Lowell (1917-1977) was born in Boston, Massachusetts, into a prominent New England family and became a central figure of confessional poetry. He is the author of Life Studies (Farrar, Straus and Cudahy, 1959). He won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry twice, for Lord Weary's Castle (1947) and The Dolphin (1974). A conscientious objector during World War II, he was imprisoned for refusing to serve. He taught at Boston University, where his students included Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton, and served as Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress.
