In prose both as superbly rendered as his poetry and as down-to-earth and easy as speaking, Levine reveals the things that made him the poet he became. In the title essay, originally the final speech of his poet laureate year, he recounts how as a boy he composed little speeches walking in the night woods near his house and how he later realized these were his first poems. He wittily takes on the poets he studied with in the Iowa Writing Program: John Berryman, who was his great teacher and lifelong friend, and Robert Lowell, who was neither. His deepest influences--jazz, Spain, the working people of Detroit--are reflected in many of the pieces. There are essays on Spanish poets he admires, William Carlos Williams, Wordsworth, Keats, and others. A wonderful, moving collection of writings that add to our knowledge and appreciation of Philip Levine--both the man and the poet"--Provided by publisher."Essays, speeches, and journal entries from one of our most admired and best-loved poets that illuminate how he came to understand himself as a poet, the events and people that he wrote about, and the older poets who influenced him"--Provided by publisher.811/.54 BLCO010000POE005010BIO026000bisacshLevine Philip185558Hirsch EdwardMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910136115703321My Lost Poets2889955UNINA02966oam 2200697I 450 991096431510332120260204023135.01-135-14676-41-135-14677-21-282-57005-697866125700560-203-85595-710.4324/9780203855959(CKB)2670000000009325(EBL)484753(OCoLC)609856091(SSID)ssj0000362447(PQKBManifestationID)12137757(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000362447(PQKBWorkID)10381403(PQKB)11684636(MiAaPQ)EBC484753(Au-PeEL)EBL484753(CaPaEBR)ebr10371527(CaONFJC)MIL257005(OCoLC)609884031(FINmELB)ELB155876(EXLCZ)99267000000000932520180706d2010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrLeisure /Tony Blackshaw1st ed.Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon, [England] ;New York Routledgec2010London ;New York :Routledge,2010.1 online resource (192 p.)Key Ideas ;v.v. 8Description based upon print version of record.0-415-43027-5 0-415-43026-7 Includes bibliographical references.BOOK COVER; TITLE; COPYRIGHT; CONTENTS; ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS; INTRODUCTION; Part I FOUNDATIONS; 1 THE IDEA OF LEISURE; 2 THE USES OF LEISURE: THREE PERSPECTIVES; Part II LEISURE IN HISTORICAL AND SOCIAL THOUGHT; 3 THE ANTECEDENTS OF MODERN LEISURE; 4 ANALYSING LEISURE AS A SOCIAL PHENOMENON; 5 LEISURE IN THE POSTMODERN IMAGINATION; Part III TOWARDS A THEORY OF LIQUID LEISURE; INTRODUCTION; 6 LEISURE AND CONSUMPTION: MCDONALDIZATION OR IKEAIZATION?; 7 THE AMBIVALENCE OF LEISURE; CONCLUSIONS; REFERENCES; INDEXNo single introductory book has until now captured the range of thought appropriate for scrutinizing the idea of leisure. Beginning with a discussion of expressions in classical thought, etymological definitions and key leisure studies concepts, Blackshaw suggests that the idea abounds with ambivalence, which is unlikely ever to be resolved. After analyzing the rise and fall of modern leisure patterns, the emphasis shifts from the historical to the sociological and the author identifies and critically discusses the key modernist and postmodernist perspectives.
