"Randall Jarrell (1914-1965) ... was born in Nashville, Tennessee, and grew up in California. Drawn to Germanic folklore and fairy tales, to the psychology of dreams and repression, Jarrell explores in his poems the 'unknown, unwanted life,' the empty corridors in all our lives. The soldier, the child, the aging woman, and the victim were favorite characters of his tender and subtle dramatic monologues, like all his poems marked with compassion and intelligence"--Container.
