Descrição da contracapa
In the opening chapters Timmerman beautifully limns the story of Kenyons life, drawing on unpublished journals and papers of hers and recollections by her husband, the poet Donald Hall. To show how her art grew out of her life, Timmerman proceeds to explore, volume by volume, the form and substance of Kenyons work.
By frequently examining the multiple drafts that Kenyon wrote in the process of reaching a finished poem, Timmerman reveals how she winnowed and refined ideas, images, and language until a poem was honed to its essence. She was especially interested in the luminous particular, the arresting image that would focus a poem. She also took care to use simple, grounded language and natural objects and events -- often drawing on and reflecting on the life she lived at Eagle Pond Farm in rural New Hampshire.
Throughout her life Kenyon struggled with depression, but she never let it define her or her work. She also struggled with her faith almost constantly, yet her faith was unrelenting, according to Timmerman, and she still wrote poems of great beauty and spiritual consolation. Her poetry, even when very personal, reached out -- and still reaches out -- to the reader, establishing that vital thread of human connection. Indeed, as Timmerman says, Kenyons poems are soundings of the human soul.
Kenyon was cut down in the prime ofher writing life by leukemia, and Timmerman concludes by exploring Halls mourning of her death in "Without, " a wrenching collection of poems. But Kenyons voice lives on in her work, and Timmermans insightful, often moving study shows why this unique literary voice continues to touch readers with its beauty, grace, and power.
