New Selected Poems of Marya Zaturenska - Hardcover

by Robert Phillips (Editor)

Praised for her lyricism and mastery of meter and rhyme, Marya Zaturenska's poetry lit up American literature in the 1900s. But with the giddy 1920s, Zaturenska's traditional lyric grace and penchant for artifice rendered her passé. By her mid-thirties, Zaturenska had succumbed to emotional and physical illness. At the same
time her work blossomed and critics acclaimed her for elevating lyric conventions to new plateaus. In 1937, she won a Pulitzer Prize for her magical collection, Cold Morning Sky. She was only thirty-six years old at the time.
