Geoffrey Hartman is best known as one of the most eminent literary
scholars and theorists of the past half century, going back to his
first book, "The Unmediated Vision" (1954). His book on Wordsworth,
published ten years later, remains a standard work, perhaps the
single most searching study of Wordsworth's poetry to appear in the
twentieth century. That Hartman has also written and published
poetry is not so widely known, previously publishing two small
volumes, "Akiba's Children" (1978) and "The Bible in Italy" (2004).
These works represents a hidden, more personal side of this major
literary figure. They show him engaging with Judaism and the Bible
in ways that surfaced only much later in his critical prose.
Through his poetry Hartman has been able to express more fully and
imaginatively his thoughts about life, religion, and poetry itself.
"The Eighth Day" combines never-before-seen poems with most of
those of his previous two volumes. Altogether, these poems reveal a
facet of Hartman's work that students and scholars of poetry will
find most illuminating.
