Here we have the first full-length study of this patron saint of late bloomers-of her poetry, and of the lifetime it took her to find the true form for her words. "For the ocean, nothing / is beneath consideration," Clampitt writes in her canonical poem "Beach Glass"-neither is it for her biographer, the renowned poetry scholar Willard Spiegelman, who in this Iowan Quaker, born to a family of farmers in 1920, discovers a woman of dazzling intellect, staunch progressive politics, and an inexhaustible sense of wonder for the world and the words we've invented to describe it. Giving equal weight to the life and the poetry, Spiegelman untangles Clampitt's famously allusive lines to reveal the experiences they emerged from, pulling the curtain back on her nearly four decades of artistic anonymity, and in doing so assembling a rich period piece of Manhattan during the days in which Clampitt worked for Oxford University Press and the National Audubon Society-writing cheery, discursive office memos,and two novels that no one would publish, before finding her stride in verse. Nothing Stays Put is a gift to poetry fans, an inspiration to artists striving at any age, and an ode to this most unlikely of literary celebrities, who would publish five acclaimed books and win a MacArthur "Genius Grant" nearly all in the final decade of her life"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Clampitt, Amy. $9 17400 650 0 $a Women poets, American $y 20th century $v Biography. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft $9 86753 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Spiegelman, Willard. $t Nothing stays put. $d New York : Alfred A.
