Winner of the prestigious Bollingen Prize and the Poetry Society of America's Shelley Memorial Award, he was hailed by John Ashbery as \"one of the major twentieth-century poets.\" Schwartz's stories were also widely read and loved, admired by James Atlas for their \"unique style that enabled Schwartz to depict his characters with a sort of childlike verisimilitude.\" Graced with an introduction by Cynthia Ozick, this New Directions Bibelot, \u003cem\u003eScreeno: Stories \u0026amp; Poems\u003c\/em\u003e, gathers many of Schwartz's most popular works, including: \"In Dreams Begin Responsibilities,\" \"America, America!\" \"The Heavy Bear who Goes with Me,\" and \"Screeno.\" Also included is a newly discovered story, \"The Heights of Joy,\" which appeared in the magazine \u003cem\u003eBoulevard\u003c\/em\u003e in 2002. Delmore Schwartz's life is legendary. The brightest star of the \u003cem\u003ePartisan Review\u003c\/em\u003e's post-war intellectual circle, a lecturer at Harvard and Princeton, and perhaps the greatest poet of his generation, he was stricken by a cruel mental illness and died after living in solitude in a Manhattan hotel. Yet it is his work that endures: \"What complicates and enriches Schwartz's comedy,\" says Irving Howe, \"is, I think, a reaching out toward nobility, a shy aspiring spirituality, a moment or two of achieved purity of feeling.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811215732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.10h x 4.80w x 0.36d","brand":"Delmore Schwartz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43040216219829,"sku":"9780811215732","price":7.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_6f59d0fd-8e68-4f93-a93e-bb0be35e639a.jpg?v=1689087100","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/screeno-stories-poems-9780811215732","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
