John Haines's Place as Ecopoet; Bibliography; Notes; About the Author; Index."John Haines arrived in Alaska, fresh out of the Navy, in 1947, and established a homestead seventy miles southeast of Fairbanks. He stayed there nearly twenty-five years, learning to live off the country: hunting, trapping, fishing, gathering berries, and growing vegetables. Those years formed him as a writer--the interior of Alaska, and especially its boreal forest--marking his poetry and prose and helping him find his unique voice. Placing John Haines, the first book-length study of his work, tells the story of those years, but also of his later, itinerant life, as his success as a writer led him to hold fellowships and teach at universities across the country. James Perrin Warren draws out the contradictions inherent in that biography--that this poet so indelibly associated with place, and authentic belonging, spent decades in motion--and also sets Haines's work in the context of contemporaries like Robert Bly, Donald Hall, and his close friend Wendell Berry. The resulting portrait shows us a poet who was regularly reinventing himself, and thereby generating creative tension that fueled his unforgettable work. A major study of a sadly neglected master, Placing John Haines puts his achievement in compelling context"--Resume de l'editeur.Poets, Americanfast(OCoLC)fst01067794Nature in literaturefast(OCoLC)fst01034680Ecology in literaturefast(OCoLC)fst00901557Nature dans la litteraturePoetes americains20e siecleBiographiesEcology in literatureNature in literaturePoets, American20th centuryBiographyLivres numériques.Criticism, interpretation, etc.Biographies.Ressources Internet.Poets, American.Nature in literature.Ecology in literature.Nature dans la litterature.Poetes americainsEcology in literature.Nature in literature.Poets, American811.54Warren James Perrin940780MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910164899003321Placing John Haines2568491UNINA
