    John Gould Fletcher - Poems

    Classic Poetry Series John Gould Fletcher - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive John Gould Fletcher(3 January 1886 – 10 May 1950) John Gould Fletcher was an Imagist poet, author and authority on modern painting. He was born in Little Rock, Arkansas to a socially prominent family. After attending Phillips Academy, Andover Fletcher went on to Harvard University from 1903 to 1907, when he dropped out shortly after his father's death. <b>Background</b> Fletcher lived in England for a large portion of his life. While in Europe he associated with <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/amy-lowell/">Amy Lowell</a>, <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/ezra-pound/">Ezra Pound</a>, and other Imagist poets, he was one of the six Imagists who adopted the name and stuck to it until their aims were achieved. Fletcher resumed a liaison with Florence Emily “Daisy” Arbuthnot (née Goold) at her house in Kent. She had been married to Malcolm Arbuthnot and Fletcher's adultery with her was the grounds for the divorce. The couple married on July 5, 1916. Their marriage produced no children, but Arbuthnot’s son and daughter from her previous marriage lived with the couple. On January 18, 1936 he married a noted author of children's books, Charlie May Simon. The two of them built "Johnswood", a residence on the bluffs of the Arkansas River outside Little Rock. They traveled frequently, however, to New York for the intellectual stimulation and to the American Southwest for the climate, after Fletcher began to suffer from arthritis.

    In the Final Two Years of His Life John Berryman Completed Two Collections of Poems – Love & Fame and Delusions, Etc

    LOVE & FAME AND THE SELF IN SOCIETY PHILIP COLEMAN In the final two years of his life John Berryman completed two collections of poems – Love & Fame and Delusions, Etc. – and he brought close to conclusion the novel Recovery, which was published posthumously in 1973. In a letter to Robert Giroux in May 1971 he described his “Present plan” in the following way: 1) vol. Essays/stories – Spr. ’72 2) Delusions, Etc. – Fall ’72 3) Recovery (the novel) – ’73? 4) Shakespeare’s Reality – ’74? 5) The Blue Book of Poetry (ed.) 6?) I am also doing a Life of Christ for Martha [Berryman’s daughter]: illustrated – e.g. Titian’s great “Scourging” in the Pinakothek.1 Berryman’s activity and output during this period of his life is remarkable for a number of reasons, not least because he spent a great deal of this time in hospital undergoing treatment for alcoholism, as well as carrying out his duties as Regents’ Professor of Humanities at the University of Minnesota. It is interesting too because, much to the poet’s dismay, the reception of The Dream Songs had more or less decided his critical fate, as Robert Lowell implied when he wrote that Berryman’s “last two books, Love & Fame and Delusions, Etc., move” but only insofar as “they fill out the frame” of The Dream 1 Quoted by Robert Giroux in the Preface to John Berryman, The Freedom of the Poet, New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1976, viii. 226 Philip Coleman Songs and “prepare for his [Berryman’s] death”.2 Lowell’s remark is problematic for a number of reasons, but mainly because it suggests that the work Berryman produced in the last few years of his life in some sense pre-empted or prophesied his death by suicide in January 1972.

As stated by Helen Vendler, these archetypes of American minstrelsy roughly depict the Freudian Superego and Id (Vendler). The scene is narrated from Henry’s perspective with interjections only by the consciousness of his opposite, “Mr. Bones.” What takes place is the internal dialogue of a man brimming with jealousy and sexual desire, inhibited only by the colloquial rationalization of his Superego — the ideal self — and the repercussions of springing at “her compact & delicious body” (Berryman l.1) in front of her spouse and four others.
