Robert Pack Manuscripts
The Pack Manuscripts document the creative genesis of one of a major American poet long-associated with Middlebury College. Harold Bloom described Robert Pack as a "humane and eloquent poet who follows Robert Frost and Edwin Arlington Robinson in a major American tradition." Pack was also a highly regarded teacher of American literature at Middlebury College who served as Director of the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference from 1972 to 1995. His poems take inspiration from the landscape of Vermont, yet display broader interests including Darwinian evolution and Freudian psychoanalysis. This collection of manuscripts presents thirty years' worth of poetry in all stages of composition, from early scribbles to revised drafts to final printed book manuscripts, for ten of Pack's books, as well as unpublished poetry.
Still Here, Still Now
Robert Pack is one of America’s most eminent nature poets, and his virtuoso talents are on glorious display in Still Here, Still Now, his nineteenth volume of verse. With styles ranging from lyric to narrative, and themes stretching from biblical concerns to meditations on contemporary science, Pack’s poetry is composed in strongly rhythmic cadences and a diction that is direct and accessible. In four different sections of thematically and stylistically divergent verse, Still Here, Still Now delivers many of the elements of Pack’s poetry readers have come to admire and expect—both the humorous and the elegiac. The first section of the book contains traditional lyrics that celebrate f...
Searching for Home
Searching for Home, Pack’s splendid twenty-second collection of poems, written largely during his last year of life, centers on the search for meaning. At its heart are sequences of poems about three figures, each a seeker after some physical or conceptual home where uncertainties are overcome. · Charles Darwin circumnavigates the world and gleans the evidence for his theory of evolution but seems to sanction a godless world of randomness and struggle. · Escaping Nazis, Albert Einstein immigrates to America, where he fights for peace while unsuccessfully trying to prove his unified field theory. · Pogroms force the poet’s scholarly Uncle Phil from Russia to America, where he lives in ...
Clayfeld Holds On
In this stunning, briliant new collection, Robert Pack revisits the lamp-lit chambers of his alter ego, Clayfeld (Old Adam) some thirty years on. These poems are hard won, informed with a rare wit, compendium of knowledge, and deep intelligence, by turns heartbreaking, full of wisdom and a Swiftian sense of the folly of human endeavor, and funny as hell.
Laughter Before Sleep
One of America’s most eminent nature poets, Robert Pack has won the acclaim of writers, critics, and readers from Stephen Jay Gould to Mark Strand. In his latest collection, Laughter Before Sleep, Pack carries on his themes of family and friends, responsibility to the natural world of evolved diversity, the transience of life, the fragility of happiness, and the consolations offered by art and music. Laughter Before Sleep weighs the nature of endings from the perspective of old age and embraces the humor and play of memory that keep mortality at bay.As we are carried along with Pack’s lyrical, sensitive, and intelligent verse, he takes us on a moving but often comic journey toward the en...
Belief and Uncertainty in the Poetry of Robert Frost
A leading Frost critic guides the reader through some of the poet's most challenging verse.
Minding the Sun
The poet concludes the volume with a sobering plea, "The Trees Will Die," to heed the sun's example, to cherish and protect our planet and all its living things.
