Book Synopsis The Angelic Sins of Jones Very by : Sarah Turner Clayton
Book excerpt: Jones Very's poetry reflects the darker side of America's Transcendentalists, and this study explores contradictions between his ecstatic verse and his exaltation of sin. Very lived the life of a mystic, speaking alternately as a 19th-century Jeremiah and the new American Messiah, for less than two years. During this period, he wrote a small corpus of verse that was powerful and pure, yet after he "recovered," he produced merely a larger body of mediocre poetry. As the millennium approaches, his ecstatic verse speaks more strongly than ever before. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
