Life Studies and For the Union Dead by Robert Lowell

5.0

Lowell's memoir as part of "Life Studies", 91 Revere Street, is a masterpiece of unsentimental incision and poetic marvel. Highlights of the collection include "Inauguration Day: January 1953", "Skunk Hour", "to Delmore Schwartz", and of course "For the Union Dead".
