Her fellow students were Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton, among others. Thus began a relationship with the famous poet and his circle that would last to the end of his life in 1977 and beyond. Spivack presents a lovingly rendered story of her time among some of the most esteemed artists of a generation. Part memoir, part loose collection of anecdotes, artistic considerations, and soulful yet clear-eyed reminiscences of a lost time and place, hers is an intimate portrait of the often suffering Lowell, the great and near great artists he attracted, his teaching methods, his private world, and the significant legacy he left to his students. Through the story of a youthful artist finding her poetic voice among literary giants, Spivack thoughtfully considers how poets work. She looks at friendships, addiction, despair, perseverance and survival, and how social changes altered lives and circumstances. This is a beautifully written portrait of friends who loved and lived words, and made great beauty together. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA touching and deeply revealing look into the lives and thoughts of some of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, With Robert Lowell and His Circle will appeal to writers, students, and thoughtful literary readers, as well as to scholars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Northeastern University Press","offers":[{"title":"With Robert Lowell \u0026 His Circle: Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, Elizabeth Bishop, Stanley Kunitz, and Others | Kathleen Spivack | Paperback | 155553788X | Used: Like New | Biography 1764920 (temp: 10)","offer_id":49317890752664,"sku":"1764920","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61vw9kckNZL.jpg?v=1782158762","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/with-robert-lowell-his-circle-sylvia-plath-anne-sexton-elizabeth-bishop-stanley-kunitz-and-others","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
