About the author

Works of American poet Edwin Arlington Arlington include long narratives and character studies of New Englanders, including "Miniver Cheevy" (1907).

Edwin Arlington Robinson won three Pulitzer Prizes for his work. His family moved to Gardiner, Maine, in 1870. He described his childhood as "stark and unhappy."

Early difficulties of Robinson led to a dark pessimism, and his stories dealt with "an American dream gone awry."

In 1896, he self-published his first book, "The Torrent and the Night Before", paying 100 dollars for 500 copies. His second volume, "The Children of the Night", had a somewhat wider circulation.

Edwin Arlington Robinson won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1922 for his first "Collected Poems," in 1925 for "The Man Who Died Twice," and in 1928 for "Tristram."

Reviews

[Illiterate · Rating 4 out of 5]

A failed composer finds meaning as street drummer. Robinson’s usual themes: tragedy as bearable, failure as success, light as meaning.

[Pam · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun British audible, light, breezy

[Jordan St. Stier · Rating 4 out of 5]

A book of prose-poetry that weaves and out of memories and dialogue, somewhat like a tortured Socratic dialogue that culminates in a safe conclusion.

Who knew that you could still buy a copy of the 3rd winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for under 50 bucks? - in fine condition, first edition, and SIGNED by the author. Well, you can!
But, I'm not sure why. I found the "poem" to be unintelligible. i could read all the words, but they meant almost nothing to me. I'm not sure how the guy died the first time, although the second time seems clear enough. I found myself shouting: STOP, stop putting words together that make no sense. OK, there is clearly something wrong with me. This book won the Pulitzer - Robinson's SECOND Pulitzer Prize.

Simply delightful. Wonderful characterizations, fully developed personalities. Hope he keeps writing!

[Audre Sherwood · Rating 3 out of 5]

It’s a book about being born again from a Christian perspective
