Customer Reviews

an interesting selection

Giroux has selected an interesting group of work for Lowell's Collected Prose. There is writing on Frost, Bishop, Eliot, Berryman, among others. You get pieces of Lowell's 'autobiography' as well as some of his earliest writing (one of which was published in his school's paper). There are also two interviews and Lowell's letters to Presidents Roosevelt and Johnson. There is some really good stuff here, though I'll admit, unlike his classmate Jarrell, Lowell isn't always that great. Still, it wasn't a bad book.
