Discription:
&#8220Thgreat poems, plays, novels, stories teach us how to go on living. . . . Your own mistakes,
accidents, failures at otherness beat you down. Rise up at dawn and read something that matters
as soon as you can.&#8221SoHarold Bloom, the most famous literary critic of his generation,
exhorts readers of his last book: one that praises the sustaining power of poetry.Passionate. . . .
Perhaps Bloom&#8217most personal work, this is a fitting last testament to one of
America&#8217leading twentieth-century literary minds.&#8212Pulishers
Weekly&#8220Anextraordinary testimony to a long life spent in the company of poetry and an
affecting last declaration of [Bloom's] passionate and deeply unfashionable faith in the capacity of
the imagination to make the world feel habitable&#8221#8212Seamus Perry, Literary
ReviewReading, this stirring collection testifies, &#8216heps in staying
alive.&#8217#8220&#8212Kikus Reviews, starred review This dazzling celebration of the power of
poetry to sublimate death&#8212copleted weeks before Harold Bloom died&#8212hos how
literature renews life amid what Milton called &#8220auniverse of death.&#8221Bloom reads as a
way of taking arms against the sea of life&#8217troubles, taking readers on a grand tour of the
poetic voices that have haunted him through a lifetime of reading. &#8220Hih literature,&#8221he
writes, &#8220isa saving lie against time, loss of individuality, premature death.&#8221In
passages of breathtaking intimacy, we see him awake late at night, reciting lines from Dante,
Shakespeare, Milton, Montaigne, Blake, Wordsworth, Hart Crane, Jay Wright, and many others.
He feels himself &#8220eded by nothingness,&#8221uncomprehending, but still sustained by
reading. Generous and clear&#8209eyd, this is among Harold Bloom&#8217most ambitious and
most moving books.
