Collected Poems
Edgar Bowers was born in 1924 in Rome, Georgia. His schooling was interrupted by the second world war in which he served in the Counter Intelligence Corps assigned to the 101st Airborne division and then in Berchtesgaden, Germany. On his discharge in April, 1946, he returned to the University of North Carolina, finishing his graduate studies with a Phd in English at Stanford University. He has taught at Duke University, Harpur College, and finally at the Santa Barbara campus of the University of California, from 1958 to his retirement in 1991. Among his many awards were two Guggenheim fellowships (1959, 1969) and the Bolligen Prize for Poetry (1989).

"Edgar Bowers has been one of the best living American poets these last forty years. His Collected Poems now testifies to his authentic eminence: in vital form, in accuracy of perception and sensation, in a vision at once original yet profoundly representative of the American imagination at its most eloquent maturity." Harold Bloom "There's a great cumulative power to this collection. Bowers started with youthful stoicism, but the feeling is now governed by an increasing acceptance of the physical world, indeed not breaking with its stoic past, but occasionally extending to a positive joy. The past now serves a present alert with possibilities." Thom Gunn

February 7, 2000 OLLINGEN Prize-winning poet Edgar Bowers died Friday in his San Francisco home. He was 75. The New York Times reported that the cause of death was non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Though Bowers was not a prolific writer, each of his poems was executed with the poet's brilliant technique and grace. "Edgar wrote very little, but it was always perfect," fellow poet and friend Thom Gunn told the Los Angeles Times . Unlike the rapid succession of books that many contemporary poets seem to release, Bowers sometimes spent decades carefully crafting poems between books. His perfectionism earned him high praise, both from colleagues and from the prize committees for several prestigious awards. He twice won Guggenheim Fellowships, and in 1989 he was awarded the Bollingen Prize, an honor that placed him in the company of Robert Frost, Marianne Moore, Ezra Pound, and Wallace Stevens. Originally from Rome, Georgia, Bowers attended the University of North Carolina, and left to serve in the Counter Intelligence Corps for two years during World War II and after. He finished his undergraduate degree at UNC, and then continued his education at Stanford. There, Bowers earned a doctorate and studied with the eminent poet and critic Yvor Winters. Winters later said of Bowers's first book, The Form of Loss (Alan Swallow, 1956), that it contains poems "among the best American poems of this century, and 9 or 10 of them among the very great poems." He remained for much of his life in California, where he taught at UC Santa Barbara for 33 years. Fellow professor Porter Abbott told the

    Born 2nd. March, 1924, Rome, Georgia, USA; died 4th. February, 2000, in San Francisco, USA.
    US poet and teacher. His mother was a teacher. His father worked in a nursery garden. He joined the University of North Carolina in 1942 but he interrupted his studies for two years during the Second World War and after. He joined the US Army and served in the Counter Intelligence Corps assigned to the 101st Airborne division and then was stationed at Hitler's Berchtesgarden stronghold in Germany where he served as an interpreter until he was discharged in April 1946. He returned to complete his undergraduate degree at the University of North Carolina. He moved to Stanford in 1947 to undertake his doctorate on the poems of Yeats's friend T. Sturge Moore. He studied under the critic and minor poet Yvor Winters. One of his peers there was Thom Gunn. For a decade he taught at several universities including Duke University and Harpur College. He then settled at the University of California at Santa Barbara where he stayed for 30 years until he retired in 1991. He was a member of the English Faculty where he specialised in English Renaissance and modern poetry. He bought a small, traditional wood-frame house in the wealthy suburb of Montecito where he could sit on his raised verandah which reached out over the beach and gave him a view of the ocean with sightings of dolphins and surfers to inspire him. He received a Guggenheim fellowship in 1959, and a second one in 1969.

    THE MAN FROM GEORGIA ON EXHIBIT
    Bowers began his undergraduate education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, but the Second World War interrupted his studies, and he soon found himself in the Army. Upon his discharge in April, 1946, he returned to Chapel Hill, earning his bachelor’s degree with a double major in French and German, and then completed his education with a doctorate in English at Stanford University in 1953. Like his mother and aunt, Bowers became a teacher, first at Stanford, then at Duke University and Harpur College (now part of SUNY Binghamton), and finally, from 1958 to 1991, at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
    During his many years as an English professor, Bowers periodically returned to Georgia to visit his mother near Stone Mountain, where she lived in a house completed shortly after his father’s death in 1953. It was at Stone Mountain that Bowers would immerse himself in the Georgian landscape, finding there the inspiration for many of his most memorable poems.

    "Living Together"
    from COLLECTED POEMS

    Of you I have no memory, keep no promise.
    But, as I read, drink, wait, and watch the surf,
    Faithful, almost forgotton, your demand
    Becomes all others, and this loneliness
    The need that is your presence. In the dark,
    Beneath the lamp, attentive, like a sound
    I listen for, you draw near closer, surer
    Than speech, or sight, or love, or love returned. Commentary by Donald Justice This dark little poem is about trying to come to terms with some hidden aspect of the self not wholly accessible to reason. The style has the beautiful stark dignity of many of Bowers's poems, but there is another side to his work which should be mentioned as wella kind of cheerful stoicism that stemmed from his enormous zest for life. But then Bowers is not the first poet to live brightly and write darkly.

    "Mountain Cemetary"
    Edgar Bowers
    With their harsh leaves old rhododendrons fill
    The crevices in grave plots' broken stones.
    The bees renew the blossoms they destroy,
    While in the burning air the pines rise still,
    Commemorating long forgotten biers.
    Their roots replace the semblance of these bones. The weight of cool, of imperceptible dust
    That came from nothing and to nothing came
    Is light within the earth and on the air.
    The change that so renews itself is just.
    The enormous, sundry platitude of death
    Is for these bones, bees, trees, and leaves the same. And splayed upon the ground and through the trees The mountains' shadow fills and cools the air, Smoothing the shape of headstones to the earth. The rhododendrons suffer with the bees Whose struggles loose ripe petals to the earth, The heaviest burden it shall ever bear. Our hard earned knowledge fits us for such sleep. Although the spring must come, it passes too To form the burden suffered for what comes. Whatever we would give our souls to keep Is merely part of what we call the soul;
