Updike, John.. Midpoint and Other Poems.. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, . First Edition., 1969.

Price: US$13.32 + shipping

Description: Octavo, khaki cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, [110] pp. Near-Fine, with light foxing; in a Very Good dust jacket with lightly rubbed edges. From dust jacket: ni the bodly eclectric title poem of this collection, John Updike employs the meters of Dante, Spenser, Pope, Whiteman, and Pound, as well as the pictographic tactics of concrete poetry, to take an inventory of his life at the end of his thrity-fifth year -- at midpoint. These cantos form both a joke on the antique genre of the long poem and an attempt to write one: an earnest meditation on the mysteries of the ego, lost time, and the mundane. The remainder of the volume is a six years' harvest of light verse and incidental lyrics -- poems dealing with love and death, animals and angels, places and persons, dream artifacts and the naked ape. As a writer of humorous verse Mr. Updike is alone in his generation; to serious poetry he brings the vision and warmth characteristic of his prose. Literature, Poetry, Americana. bslic

UPDIKE BRINGS VISION AND WARMTH TO THIS COLLECTION OF POEMS. "In the boldly eclectic title poem of this collection, he employs the meters of Dante, Spenser, Pope, Whitman, and Pound, as well as the pictographic tactics of concrete poetry, to take an inventory of his life at the end of his thirty-fifth year - at midpoint.The remainder of the volume is a six years' harvest of light verse and incidental lyrics - poems dealing with love and death, animals and angels, places and persons, dream artifacts and the naked ape."
