Babette Deutsch [Deutsch’s Poems] 1895–1982 poet, critic and novelist (no photo available) American poet Babette Deutsch was born in 1895 in New York City. She was married to Avrahm Yarmolinsky (1890–1975), the critic and scholar. Her poems are noted for their technical virtuosity and wide range of tone and subject matter. Her best-known collections include Animal, Vegetable, Mineral (1954), Coming of Age (1959), and Collected Poems (1963 and 1969). She also wrote novels, including Mask of Silenus (1933), and numerous critical works, such as Poetry in Our Time (1954). To her, “The poet … like the lover … is a person unable to reconcile what he knows with what he feels. His peculiarity is that he is under a certain compulsion to do so.” Source: http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/people/A0815323.html |
