Selected Poems and Pygmalion and Galatea, a One-Act Play
By Robert Manns
()
About this ebook
Robert Manns' Selected Poems is comprised of two large poems and a number of smaller verses of various forms that recount is happy, sometimes frustrated, years of bachelor-hood. By a Turning Root is his invasion of several classical forms and a very sound illustration of the poet as visionary.
Pygmalion and Galatea was first produced by Lucille Lortel at the White Barn Theatre in Westport and clearly signals an early influence by England's Christopher Fry. The sculptor makes a statue, then falls in love with it. That's transcendental love. When the statue comes to life, she's interested in more than love in that form. The comedy investigates Pygmalion's paradoxes.
Robert Manns
Robert Manns was born in Detroit; spent six years in New York, where he received his first productions; and later moved to Florida and eventually Atlanta. He wrote his first play when he was 19, his first poem when he was 21. He has taught dramaturgy at Emory University in Atlanta and, while director of Callanwolde Art Institure in that city, initiated the poetry readings still held today. Even before serving as field representative for the National Audubon Society, wildlife and the environment had solidly manifested themselves in his writing.
