Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
A collection of personal letters by the acclaimed American poet offers a revealing glimpse inside the mind of a legendary man of letters, as well as a study of the evolution of Lowell's poetic work, his own personal life, the manic-depressive illness that marked his world, his political sentiments, his marriages, and his friendships with other writers.
Review:
"Brilliant, intimate, free, sculpted, various and wildly desirous of communication, the letters were worth the wait....Lowell's eye for physical detail and feel for emotional valence seem directly wired into his prose....Even for those who don't care for Lowell's verse (or any verse), this is a major epistolary life."
Publishers Weekly, 04/18/2005
Review:"Reading the Lowell letters is an experience that no one interested in twentieth-century civilization should be without....Robert Lowell wrote brutally about the way in which nothing can be said to last, and any neglect of his work would not have surprised him. The publication of these superb letters is a grandiose, appropriately Lowellesque act of cultural defiance. So long as anyone cares enough about Lowell to keep him in print, so long as somebody's there to read him with the kind of passion he himself devoted to the poems, all is not lost."
Nicholas Fraser, Harper's, July 2005

The Letters of Robert Lowell (Hardback) (ISBN: 9780374185466) Lowell, Robert;Hamilton, Saskia Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Farrar Straus Giroux, United States, 2005. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 247 x 167 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Over the course of his life, Robert Lowell impressed those who knew him by his "refusal to be boring on paper" (Christopher Benfey). One of the most influential poets of the twentieth century, Lowell was also a prolific letter writer who corresponded with many of the remarkable writers and thinkers of his day, including Elizabeth Bishop, Edmund Wilson, Robert Kennedy, Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, T. S. Eliot, and Robert Frost. These letters document the evolution of Lowell's work and illuminate another side of the intimate life that was the subject of so many of his poems: his deep friendships with other writers; the manic-depressive illness he struggled to endure and understand; his marriages to three prose writers; and his engagement with politics and the antiwar movement of the 1960s. "The Letters of Robert Lowell" shows us, in many cases for the first time, the private thoughts and passions of a figure unrivaled for his influence on American letters.
