Being a choice of poesy which emphasize the melancholy of relationships which have failed or atrophied and immortalize mortality and the failed aspiration. Although Robinson is not particularly well-remembered, his masterpiece "Richard Cory" is still represented in many anthologies, and his characterization of one Miniver Cheevy is out there as well. Both poems are examples of how punchy and dramatic the author could be; in this, as well as his themes, his work is reminiscent of two even greater Englishmen, A. E. Housman and Thos. Hardy. This selection does not limit itself to these poems, though; several longer, more involuted works are included which demand more time and attention and which are a little taxing.

Edwin Arlington Robinson's finely crafted, formal rhythms mirror the tension the poet sees between life's immutable circumstances and humanity's often tragic attempts to exert control. At once dramatic and witty, his poems lay bare the loneliness and despair of life in genteel small towns, the tyranny of love, and unspoken, unnoticed suffering. The fictional characters he created in "Reuben Bright," "Miniver Cheevy," and "Richard Cory," and the historical figures he brought to life - Lincoln in "The Master" and the great painter in "Rembrandt to Rembrandt"--Harbor demons and passions the world treats with indifference or cruelty. With an introduction that sheds light on Robinson's influence on poets from Eliot and Pound to Frost and Berryman, this collection brings an unjustly neglected poet to a new generation of readers.
