Sentences - Howard Nemerov - e-kniha

eBook: In this dazzling collection, Nemerov plays with other forms of poetry, including gnomic verse, sonnets, and lyrics. ‘Sentences’ reverberates with imaginative approaches to poetry, and the subject matters are equally varied. Poems, such as ‘A Christmas Storm,’ and ‘By Al Leibowitz’s Pool’ are both charming and fantastic examples of the author’s ability with words. Shot through with his trademark sense of the satirical, ‘Sentences’ is a must for Nemerov fans, and for those looking for an introduction to his work. Howard Nemerov (1920 – 1991) was an American novelist and poet, who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1978. His novels are characterised by the use of self-deprecating wit and an ongoing sense of irony. While his books tended to satirise 20th Century American life, his poems often focussed on the beauty and innocence of nature. In addition, Nemerov also worked as a scriptwriter, most notably on the film, ‘Tall Story,’ starring Anthony Perkins and Jane Fonda.
