Our native "poetry," that is, literature and art, in general, is a social...

He also attended to his own writing and not only emerged as a celebrated poet with the publication of Thirty-six Poems in 1936 and Eleven...

The Collected Poems of Robert Penn Warren
ISBN: 9780807123331 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 838 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A central figure in twentieth-century American literature, Robert Penn Warren (1905-1989) was appointed by the Library of Congress as the first Poet Laureate of the United States in 1985.

T.S. Eliot said, "We must know all of Shakespeare's work in order to know any of it." Something similar may be said of the poetry of Warren. In this...
