A Library of Congress Poet Laureate and National Book Award winner, he had a formidable intellect and wit that endeared him to--or infuriated--the finest minds of his day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, in the nine essays collected in \u003cem\u003eRemembering Randall, \u003c\/em\u003e his widow, Mary von Schrader Jarrell, offers a distinctive portrait of the esteemed poet-critic as only she could have known him. Capturing the essence of this complex, brilliant man, she writes knowingly about the wellsprings and character of Jarrell's poetry, particularly his last and best book, \u003cem\u003eThe Lost World;\u003c\/em\u003e his courageous endeavor, after suffering from hepatitis, to create the celebrated children's books \u003cem\u003eThe Bat-Poet\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Animal Family;\u003c\/em\u003e his lifelong friendships with fiction writer Peter Taylor and poet Robert \"Cal\" Lowell; his commitment during the last eight years of his life to completing his translation of Goethe's \u003cem\u003eFaust, Part One;\u003c\/em\u003e and, finally, their marriage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom their home in North Carolina to Washington, New York, San Francisco, and London, Mary von Schrader Jarrell vividly describes the restless mind and free spirit they shared in their marriage. As she writes, \"To be married to Randall was to be encapsulated with him.\" This engrossing, intimate collection could not serve as a better tribute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Harper","offers":[{"title":"Remembering Randall: A Memoir of Poet, Critic, and Teacher Randall Jarrell | Mary Von Schrad Jarrell | Hardcover | 9780061180118 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks G 1747033","offer_id":48842831626392,"sku":"1747033","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71ip9h73NVL.jpg?v=1775239591","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/remembering-randall-a-memoir-of-poet-critic-and-teacher-randall-jarrell","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
