About the Author
Poet, scholar, essayist, critic, Paul Mariani is the author of many books, including William Carlos Williams and The Great Wheel. He teaches at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
From Library Journal
American poets have a penchant for mythologizing their personal lives in the sometimes mistaken belief that the public exposure of private trauma can elevate mere biographical detail from the mundane to the universal. Writing in this vein, Mariani, poet and biographer of William Carlos Williams and John Berryman, relentlessly mines chapters from his family history. Mariani chronicles his blue-collar childhood in technically proficient poems that are ponderous and full of bluster, though in the few poems where the poet restrains rather than unleashes his ego, he can be effective. Drawing inspiration from the two poets whose lives he has examined, Mariani is a poetic hybrid, combining a gritty urban realism with inflated personal mythmaking. Unfortunately, the result is poetry concerned mostly with solipsism. For comprehensive poetry collections only.
