His intention is not to make a literal rendering of a poem written in another language, but to try to create from the original a poem which is successful in English. At times there are wide departures from the originals, yet he usually stays quite close. Though they are "imitations", the imitator is unmistakably Robert Lowell.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'Lowell followed "Life Studies" with "Imitations" (1961), a volume of loose translations of poems by classical and modern European poets, including Rilke, Montale, Baudelaire, Pasternak, and Rimbaud, for which he received the 1962 Bollingen Poetry Translation Prize. However, critical response to "Imitations" was mixed and sometimes hostile (as was the case with Vladimir Nabokov's public response to Lowell's Mandelstam translations). In a review of Lowell's "Collected Poems", the poet Michael Hofmann wrote that although he thought "Life Studies" was Lowell's best book, "Imitations" was Lowell's most "pivotal book," arguing that the book "marks the entry into his work of what one might term 'international style', something coolly open to not-quite-English." In the book's introduction, Lowell explained that his idiosyncratic translations should be thought of as "imitations" rather than strict translations since he took many liberties with the originals, trying to "do what [his] authors might have done if they were writing their poems now and in America."'
