Jean Garrigue was an American poet (1914 - 1972) born in Evansville, Indiana and wrote as an expatriate from Europe in 1953, 1957, and 1962. She eventually settled in New England. The Ego and the Centaur (1947) was Garrigue’s first full-length publication. She was a professor at Queens College, and Smith College. She was awarded a Guggenheim fellowship in 1960-61, and nominated for a National Book Award for Country Without Maps. The critic and poet Stanley Kunitz, called Garrigue "a wildly gifted poet…whose art took the road of excess that leads to the palace of wisdom." Garrigue was also romantically involved with Josephine Herbst.
An Indiana native whose first publication came in 1941, Garrigue developed a poetic style that came to be known for its pulsating rhythms and romantic, symbolist motifs. The poems here were selected from her eight previously published collections. "The Circle," from her first collection, shows her eye for detail and her skill at conveying the lushness of nature: "The wood, swollen with mushrooms,/ Those rotting like excrement." As her poetry matured, her range grew to include the erotic: "The lover mirroring by his joy/ That flush beauty brings." In her prose poems, Garrigue's mellifluous voice carries the long lines, rippling along with a rich musicality. Selections from her highly praised Studies for an Actress and Other Poems ( LJ 2/1/73) include "The Grand Canyon," which some critics consider her finest poem, and range thematically from the autobiographical to a concern with pollution and the environment. Throughout, Garrigue's sureness of craft, firm voice, and wildness of imagination is evident, a testament to her poetic achievement. For most collections.
