A propos de l'auteur
Distinguished both as poet and painter, Tomlinson was born in Stoke-on-Trent and received his B.A. from Queen's College, Cambridge, in 1948. After a few years of elementary school teaching and a period as private secretary in northern Italy, he returned to study at London University, from which he afficher plus received an M.A. in 1955. He has taught in the English department at the University of Bristol and visited the United States to teach at the University of New Mexico and at Colgate University. One of the British poets most open to transatlantic influences, Tomlinson has profited from an array of modern American poets, including Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, Ezra Pound, and the objectivist group. Having begun as a painter, he often emphasizes visual elements in his verse."My theme is relationship," he has said, "a phenomenological poetry, with roots in Wordsworth and in Ruskin, is what I take myself to be writing." Many of Tomlinson's best poems, such as "At Barstow" and "Two Views of Two Ghost Towns," concern the American West. He has also done critical essays and some fine translations of Spanish writers, including the poetry of Antonio Machado y Ruiz. (Bowker Author Biography) afficher moins

American essays : making it new par Charles Tomlinson
This book is divided between critical assessments of various lengths and seriousness, and a memoir. The critical essays focus largely on Americans about a generation older than Tomlinson by whom he was influenced, knew, and promoted, including William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, Elizabeth Bishop. His love of the writers and their work comes through in his passionate partisanship and his careful readings (and copious quotation). There are also useful essays on Pound and Eliot. The memoir which closes the books discusses his first visit to America and a trip to Italy largely spent with Pound's family. It includes charming anecdotes of Moore and Georgia O'Keefe. Tomlinson's interest in Zukowski may seem a little eccentric to some. Tomlinson seems to have had a knack for meeting people, and seems to have a story about everyone who was anyone in the poetry word circa 1960.… (plus d'informations)
