Here's a link to an excellent article on Robert Lowell by Eratosphere's own J. Bottum.

Jody's prose is clear and provocative, e.g. this fine passage:

"THE GENERAL READER of literature can now walk many of the poetic battlefields of the twentieth century with little more emotion than the tourist's usual wonder at how much blood was spilt to gain so little ground. Along that low wall, the Georgians made their last, doomed stand. That hilltop over there is where contemporary modernism was decided, the high mandarins easily crushing the populist, lowbrow rebellion from the likes of Vachel Lindsay, Robinson Jeffers, and Carl Sandburg. Across that nearby field the Beat berserkers once howled their way close to victory before their charge was at last turned back."

Well done!

Terese

I've read several reviews of the book and this is the best.
