Description
Though best known for her fiction--Deephaven, A White Heron & other Stories & The Country of Pointed Firs--Sarah Orne Jewett (1849-1909) wrote poetry throughout much of her career, leaving behind a rich & varied body of work. Jewett memorialized in her poetry the "local color" & vast beauty of nineteenth-century coastal New England. Poetry was for Jewett an intensely personal art--a means for illuminating aspects of her interior life & chronicling their emotive details. At times as simple & direct as a love song & at others as exalted as a hymn, Jewett's poems bear the imprint of that rare ability to artfully distill from experience its revelatory core. All Ironweed American Classics books are printed on acid-free paper. Available to trade via Baker & Taylor, Brodart & Ingram.
