Books by the celebrated poet/critic Louise Bogan (1897-1970) include Body of This Death (1923), Dark Summer (1929), The Sleeping Fury (1937), Poems and New Poems (1941), Collected Poems 1923-1953 (1954), Achievement in American Poetry, 1900-1950 (1951), and Collected Poems 1923-1953 (1954). What the Woman Lived: Selected Letters of Louise Bogan 1920-1970 (1973) was edited by Ruth Limmer.
“Behind the Bogan poems is a woman, intense, proud, strong-willed. . . . Her poems can be read and reread: they keep yielding new meanings, as all good poetry should. The ground beat of great tradition can be heard, with the necessary and subtle variations. Bogan is one of the true inheritors.” ―Theodore Roethke
“Now that we can see the sweep of forty-five years' work in this collection of over a hundred poems, we can judge what a feat of character it has been. . . . [Bogan's] is a language as supple as it is accurate, dealing with things in their own tones. . . . Reading this book with delight, I was struck by a career of stubborn, individual excellence.” ―William Meredith, The New York Review of Books

"This reissue of Louise Bogan's poems will, I hope, mean that we take a fresh look at her against the remarkable tradition of female poetry in America. When we begin to do so, the problems, crises, and strategies of her apparently lucid, classic poems reveal themselves: the sense of mask, of code, of body-mind division, of the 'sleeping fury' beneath the praised, severe, lyrical mode. Her work, like that of Bradstreet, Dickinson, and H.D., is a graph of the struggle to commit a female sensibility, in all its aspects, to language. We who inherit that struggle have much to learn from her." -- Adrienne Rich. Seller Inventory # ABH5264
