Nor did he—like Longfellow or his friend Tennyson—capture or ever try to represent the spirit of his age. Yet he remains one of America’s most passionate, moving, and technically accomplished poets of the nineteenth century: a New Englander through and through, a poet of the outdoors, wandering fields and wooded hillsides by himself, driven to poetry and the solitude of nature by the loss of his beloved wife. This is the persona we encounter again and again in Tuckerman’s sonnets and stanzaic lyric poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCorrecting numerous errors in previous editions, this is the first reliable reading edition of Tuckerman’s poetry. Ben Mazer has painstakingly re-edited the poems in this selection from manuscripts at the Houghton Library. Included in this generous selection are several important poems omitted in \u003ci\u003eThe Complete Poems of Frederick Goddard Tuckerman\u003c\/i\u003e. In her introduction to the volume, Stephanie Burt celebrates an extraordinary poet of mourning and nature—an anti-Transcendental—who in many ways seems closer to writers of our own century than to, say, Emerson or even Thoreau. Readers who enjoy the verse of Richard Wilbur, Anthony Hecht, or Mary Oliver will find much to admire in Tuckerman’s poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eBen Mazer is the author of several collections of poetry, most recently \u003ci\u003eJanuary 2008\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePoems\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStephanie Burt is the author of fourteen books of poetry and literary criticism, including \u003ci\u003eDon’t Read Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Poem Is You.\u003c\/i\u003e A past judge for the Pulitzer Prize for poetry, she serves as a board member of the National Book Critics Circle, is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, and writes regularly for the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review,\u003c\/i\u003e the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker,\u003c\/i\u003e the \u003ci\u003eLondon Review of Books,\u003c\/i\u003e the \u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books,\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eRaritan, \u003c\/i\u003eand other publications.
