David Lehman is such a writer,” says Robert Olen Butler. Now the \u003ci\u003eBest American Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e series editor and New School writing professor channels, translates, and imagines a collection of “poems in the manner of” Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Shakespeare, W.B. Yeats, Rilke, William Carlos Williams, and more.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLehman has been writing “poems in the manner of” for years, in homage to the poems and people that have left an impression, experimenting with styles and voices that have lingered in his mind. Finally, he has gathered these pieces, creating a striking book of poems that channels poets from Walt Whitman to Sylvia Plath and also calls upon jazz standards, Freudian questionnaires, and astrological profiles for inspiration.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIntelligent and sparkling, this is a great gift for poetry fans and a useful resource for creative writers. These are poems of wit and humor but also deep emotion and clear intelligence, informed by Lehman’s genuine and knowledgeable love of poetry and literature. From Catullus and Lady Murasaki to Wordsworth, Neruda, Virginia Woolf, W.H. Auden, and Charles Bukowski, \u003ci\u003ePoems in the Manner Of \u003c\/i\u003eshows how much life there is in poets of the past. And like Edward Hirsch’s \u003ci\u003eHow to Read a Poem\u003c\/i\u003e and Robert Pinsky’s \u003ci\u003eSinging School\u003c\/i\u003e, this book gives you more than poetry.
