"The emblematic tortured poet, Schwartz is worth reading not simply for what he achieved but for what he made possible." --Maggie Doherty, The New Yorker " Unearthed here is Schwartz's masterpiece, a two-part autobiographical poem in free verse, 'Genesis,' which he worked on for more than a decade. It's so squirming and alive that it will, I suspect, be the rock upon which future considerations of Schwartz will stand." --Dwight Garner, The New York Times Book Review "In bringing out The Collected Poems of Delmore Schwartz , editor Ben Mazer has given the 21st century a necessary and welcome gift . . . Let's hope that this book will provide an overdue and well deserved third act for the poetry of one of the 20th century's poetic masters." --Jim Kates, Arts Fuse, "The emblematic tortured poet, Schwartz is worth reading not simply for what he achieved but for what he made possible." --Maggie Doherty, The New Yorker " Unearthed here is Schwartz's masterpiece, a two-part autobiographical poem in free verse, 'Genesis,' which he worked on for more than a decade. It's so squirming and alive that it will, I suspect, be the rock upon which future considerations of Schwartz will stand." --Dwight Garner, The New York Times Book Review
Synopsis
The first complete collection of the poetry of Delmore Schwartz, "the most underrated poet of the twentieth century" (John Berryman). When Delmore Schwartz published his first short story, "In Dreams Begin Responsibilities," in Partisan Review in 1937, he became an instant literary celebrity. After the appearance of his first book (by the same name), he was inundated with praise. The famed poet Allen Tate wrote to him, "Your poetic style is beyond any doubt the first real innovation that we've had since Eliot and Pound," and T. S. Eliot himself wrote Schwartz a letter asking him to compose more poetry. The brilliant start of his career is matched perhaps only by its tragic end, a lonely death after an extended period of alcoholism, depression, and derangement. Today, more than fifty years after his death in 1966, Schwartz is often remembered for the tragedy of his life rather than for the innovation and sad brilliance of his greatest work. This book brings together all of Schwartz's poetry for the very first time, from his groundbreaking debut collection to his unpublished late work, which he kept writing until his death. Accompanied by Ben Mazer's illustrative notes and introduction, The Collected Poems of Delmore Schwartz offers readers the long-awaited opportunity to rediscover one of the most influential and original poets of the twentieth century. As Mazer writes in his introduction, "It is the poems that count now. And it is the glory of the poems that survives here, awaiting new life."
