"The strings of associations give her memoir an ecstatic, exclamatory quality that will make it an enduring book. More than any other memoir of an artist I know, this one rings with the convincing sound of remembered happiness."'The New Yorker"A pleasant memoir. . . . She has succeeded in guarding her husband's privacy while effectively putting across a real sense of what he was."'The New York Times Book Review"Very fine. . . . sensitively written."'The New York Times"Poignant."'The Wall Street Journal"A charming and personable account. . . . Mrs. Jarrell proves herself so capable a writer--and so deeply interested in her subject--that the book is utterly engaging."Washington Post Book World
When Randall Jarrell died in 1965, he left a critically acclaimed body of poetry, fiction, and criticism that earned him a place in the pantheon of American letters as a Library of Congress Poet Laureate and National Book Award winner. In these nine essays, his widow, Mary von Schrader Jarrell, offers a portrait of the poet-critic as only she could have known him. Capturing his essence, she writes knowingly about Jarrell's poetry, particularly his last book, "The Lost World" and his endeavour, after suffering from hepatitis, to create the celebrated children's books "The Bat-Poet" and "The Animal Family".
