The fourth and final collection of Jarrell's essays and reviews reflects all the facets of the poet's talent. It contains virtually all the criticism that wasn't collected in the previous three volumes, Poetry and the Age (1953), A Sad Heart at the Supermarket (1962), and The Third Book of Criticism (1969). Its subjects range from poetry criticism to Ernie Pyle as a war reporter and the joy of owning a sports car.

La quarta e ultima raccolta di saggi e recensioni di Jarrell riflette tutte le sfaccettature del talento del poeta. Contiene praticamente tutte le critiche che non sono state raccolte nei tre volumi precedenti, Poetry and the Age (1953), A Sad Heart at the Supermarket (1962) e The Third Book of Criticism (1969). I suoi argomenti vanno dalla critica della poesia a Ernie Pyle come reporter di guerra e alla gioia di possedere un'auto sportiva.

Randall Jarrell was born in Nashville, Tennessee on May 6, 1914. He earned a bachelor's and master's degrees from Vanderbilt University. His first book of poetry, Blood from a Stranger, was published in 1942. During World War II, he served with the Army Air Force as a control tower operator. His other books of poetry include Little Friend, Little Friend; Losses; and The Lost World. He won the National Book Award in 1961 for The Woman at the Washington Zoo. In addition to writing poetry, he reviewed it during a brief period spent as poetry editor for The Nation. Poetry and the Age and A Sad Heart at the Supermarket are collections of his essays as a poetry critic. His teaching career included stints at Kenyon College, the University of Texas, Sarah Lawrence College, the University of Illinois, and the University of North Carolina/Greensboro. He also was the 11th Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress, a position that now bears the title Poet Laureate. He was hit by a car in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and died in October 14, 1965 at the age of 51.
