A selection of poems by American poet E.A. Robinson, perhaps best remembered in Britain for his New England character sketches. His volumes of poetry include "The Torrent", "The Night Before" and "The Children of the Night".
Edwin Arlington Robinson's finely crafted, formal rhythms lay bare the loneliness and despair of life in genteel small towns, the tyranny of love, and unspoken, unnoticed suffering. An Introduction sheds light on Robinson's influence on other poets--from Eliot and Pound to Frost and Berryman--and brings an unjustly neglected poet to new readers.
