Since the appearance in print of her early poems over seventy-five
years ago, the poetry of Janet Lewis has grown in quiet acclaim and
popularity. Although she is better known as a novelist of
historical fiction, her first and last writings were poems. With
the publication of her selected poems, Swallow Press celebrates the
distinguished career of one of its most cherished authors.
Critics as disparate as Kenneth Rexroth, Timothy Steele,
Theodore Roethke, Larry McMurtry, N. Scott Momaday, and Dana Gioia
have sung the praises of her work over the decades. Her career as a
poet was remarkable not only for its longevity but also for the
fact that even well into her tenth decade she wrote poems that
stand with her very best work.
Characterized by the vigor and sharpness of her images and the
understated lyricism that permeates her rhythmic lines. The
Selected Poems of Janet Lewis is a survey of modern poetry unto
itself.
