Pro Reviews: Imitations
'Imitations' is, so far as I know, the only book of its kind in literature. I have always said that the best translations--the 'Rubaiyat', for example--are those that depart most widely from the originals--that is, if the translator is himself a good poet; otherwise the result is fatal. Now, Lowell, who has used material from a variety of other writers, all the way from Homer to Pasternak, has produced a volume of verse which consists of variations on themes provided by those other poets and which is really an original sequence by Robert Lowell of Boston.
Publisher Notes: Imitations
- Not quite translations--yet something much more, much richer, than mere tributes to their original versions--the poems in "Imitations reflect Lowell's conceptual, historical, literary, and aesthetic engagements with a diverse range of voices from the Western canon. Moving chronologically from Homer to Pasternak--and including such master poets en route as Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Rilke, and Montale--the fascinating and hugely informed pieces in this book are themselves meant to be read as "a whole," according to Lowell's telling Introduction, "a single volume, a small anthology of European poetry."
