Description
This book seeks to revive the career of an all but forgotten poet through close readings of all his major works. Its tone is deliberately enthusiastic because it seeks to serve as an antidote to the harsh criticism that the work has been subjected to over the years. The examination of Delmores later poetry is particularly important because it disproves the myth that he lost his talent when he became mentally ill. Delmores writing evolved from highly praised T.S. Eliot-style poems to wonderfully musical symphonies of sound so that by the end of his life he had truly created a unique style which he liked to term Delmorean. Delmores seminal short story In Dreams Begin Responsibilities as well as the lon poems Seurats Sunday Afternoon Along the Seine. All Night, All Night, and Twilight Like Intuition Pierced the Twelve are walked through paragraph by paragraph to reveal the poets subtle meanings and deft artistry. It is hoped that this book will spark new interest in this major voice of the twentieth century.
