randall jarrell

Some images: RJ in hammock with cat, at his desk, writing, and behind the wheel of a late-1950s sports car.

An entire hour of RJ reading his own poems, with links to individual poems, all from The Lost World.

The Bronze David of Donatello.

Suzanne Ferguson's timeline of RJ's life.

RJ's page at the Academy, and his page at the Univ. of Illinois Modern American Poetry site.

RJ's papers in Greensboro, with a brief bio-- but most of the papers are instead at the Berg Collection in the New York Public Library.

RJ reading aloud "Ball Turret Gunner" and "Eighth Air Force."

Richard Flynn on Jarrell and the 1930s.

On Mary von S. Jarrell's memoir of her husband.
