The Selected Poetry
AuthorRobinson Jeffers

In 1938 Random House published The Selected Poetry of Robinson Jeffers, a volume that would remain in print for more than fifty years.

No Nature: New and Selected Poems
AuthorGary Snyder
ISBN0679742522
Snyder is great, and this represents him quite well. However, I think his body of work will remain just a hair's breadth away from full illumination until a devoted editor annotates many of his very particular regional, botanical, anthropological and non-English references. It's somewhat astounding...
