The rhyme “Mary Had a Little Lamb†told in the style—and
substance—of the great English poets from Edmund Spenser to
Stevie Smith. Â In The Lamb Cycle, David R. Ewbank achieves
the unthinkable—he writes so convincingly in the style of the
great English poets that one could be lulled into thinking that
Shakespeare himself was inspired to muse upon the subject of
“Mary Had a Little Lamb.†Ewbank captures not only the style of
each of the poets he chooses, but also their preoccupations and
subject matter. So D.H. Lawrence’s Mary longs for her lamb as any
woman longing for her lover, whilst T.S. Eliot’s Mary is
recollected by an old man looking back on his life. Alexander Pope
writes an “An Essay on Lambs,†and Tennyson’s lotus eaters
become “The Clover Eater.†Brilliantly written, sophisticated,
and laugh-out-loud funny, these poems, enhanced by Kate Feiffer’s
charming illustrations, will enchant anyone who has ever read an
English poem. Â
