The dolphin letters 1970-1979

Hardwick, Elizabeth2020
Books
'The Dolphin Letters' offers an unprecedented portrait of Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Hardwick during the last seven years of Lowell's life, a time of personal crisis and creative innovation for both writers. Centered on the letters they exchanged with each other and with other members of their circle - writers, intellectuals, friends and publishers, including Elizabeth Bishop, Caroline Blackwood, Mary McCarthy and Adrienne Rich - the book has the narrative sweep of a novel, telling the story of the dramatic breakup of their 21-year marriage and their extraordinary, but late, reconciliation.
