When the young human spirit loves, rages, strives, plays, where does that energy come from? When the old human spirit sees that time has passed and death is coming, where does that spirit find rest? Aiken's answer is unequivocal: in the ancient, ageless, inhuman, nurturing, commanding, accepting Earth.Where many poets might fly off in high abstraction with such a theme, Aiken does not; he keeps his feet on his good earth and connects to everyday reality in ways that have not dated in nearly 100 years. His verse is sophisticated, musically structured, and reads very well. 517 $aEarly Poetry of Conrad Aiken 517 $aEarly Poetry of Conrad Aiken, The 610 $aPoetry 610 $aFiction 610 $aLiterature And Fiction (General) 700 $aAiken$b Conrad$f1889-1973$0131163 702 $aBethune$b Robert$f1954-$4nrt 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910153624903321 996 $aEarly Poetry of Conrad Aiken : Early Poetry of Conrad Aiken$93594046 997 $aUNINA
