I have trouble seeing a connection between Jarrell and Seymour. I guess
that's because what I know of Jarrell's poetry (which isn't much) is very
concrete and rooted in the objects and people of daily life (the first poem
that comes to mind is the one about the woman in the grocery store, the one
that starts "Moving from Cheer to Joy, from Joy to All..."--a great line, no
doubt) whereas so much of who Seymour is as a person and as a poet is rooted
in the spiritual and in Eastern philosophy. Someone who knows more about
Jarrell may be able to enlighten me...
Jarrell also writes a lot about WWII, and Seymour WAS in WWII...
Come on, someone, convince me...
