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, \u003cem\u003eCold Morning Sky. \u003c\/em\u003eShe was only thirty-six years old at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCritics pointed out that Zaturenska had assimilated lyric conventions and made them original and new. \"What is so fine about these poems is that the control implicit in them does not lead to sterility or to false emotion,\" wrote the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times Book Review.\u003c\/em\u003e \"She is a mystic, but how neatly she refines the word.\" This new edition consists of over one hundred poems and twenty translations drawn from eight previous books. Early poetry from her teenage years reveals Zaturenska's budding talent, and an introduction by fellow poet and close friend Robert Phillips places this gifted writer firmly in both the historic and lyric tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 202\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9.42 x 6.24 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42130478268551,"sku":"9780815607175","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/1cba7de1a979a593966dab3607c22b09.webp?v=1732611141","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/new-selected-poems-of-marya-zaturenska-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
