This edition features a new introduction by Harold Bloom as a centenary tribute to the visionary of White Buildings (1926) and The Bridge (1930). Hart Crane, prodigiously gifted and tragically doom-eager, was the American peer of Shelley, Rimbaud, and Lorca. Born in Garrettsville, Ohio, on July...

New Selected Poems
AuthorPhilip Levine
ISBN0679740562
In ‘New and Selected Poems’, readers will find a real master craftsman at work. His language is conservative and seems simple at first, but when the poem blossoms we are all the more surprised and excited because of it. This book is a gem to read and contains a story, making it as hard to put down as your...
The Blue Estuaries
AuthorLouise Bogan
ISBN0374524610
I found one truly memorable poem in the collection, a sharp observation transformed by a peculiar sensibility, a formula advocated elsewhere in the book but rarely followed. Even in this instance, the poem would have been better served if the last line had been removed.

AuthorMarianne Moore
ISBN0670031984
More than thirty years after her death, Marianne Moore continues to be one of America's most beloved poets. However, her Collected Poems (1951) omits twenty years of later beauties. And her inaccurately titled Complete Poems (1967) is likewise incomplete, leaving out nearly half of her body of verse...
Poems 1968-1998
AuthorPaul Muldoon
ISBN0374528446
"Ireland"
The Volkswagen parked in the gap,
But gently ticking over.
You wonder if it's lovers
And not men hurrying back
Across two fields and a river.

Sven Birkerts has said, "It is not usual for a poet of Muldoon's years to have . . . an oeuvre disclosing significant shifts...

The Collected Poems of Weldon Kees (Revised Edition)
AuthorWeldon Kees
ISBN0803258283

During his forty-first year, Weldon Kees’ depression deepened. He had institutionalized Ann, his wife of sixteen years, when a mammoth drinking binge (plus her compulsive TV viewing of the 1954 Army-McCarthy hearings) precipitated a psychotic episode; her failure to stay in treatment afterward...

§ James Schuyler’s The Morning of the Poem, consists of a series of poems placed in three sections, in which “New Poems” make up the first cycle. In “New Poems,” which include 14 poems of varying length, Schuyler’s eye inhabits a place that owes not so much to a camera eye, but to a roving,...
The Collected Poems
AuthorTed Berrigan
ISBN0520251555
Amazing collection. For those of us who had owned (and in my case, worn out) So Going Around Cities, the Collected surprises, since it is HUGE! and has a lot of work that we (or I) hadn't seen before. I knew Ted's work for years, sat in a class of his (with Alice) back in the 1970's at Naropa. For me, Ted's work...
Collected Poems, 1951-1971
AuthorA.R. Ammons
ISBN0393321924
I haven't finished reading ALL the poems here, but am going to take a break for awhile (I've read almost one third, from various time periods in this collection). I forget how I stumbled upon this poet--I think he was quoted on an anarchist site that Lara sent me (believe it or not)--but he is one that I'll...
The World of the Ten Thousand Things: Poems 1980-1990
AuthorCharles Wright
ISBN0374523266
The heart of this volume is made up of long journal-like dated entries in free verse. Deliciously absorbing and meditative, they concern themselves with landscapes and the natural world, with ideas, memory, and autobiography. I think of poetry as a kind of wisdom. I get the idea Wright dedicates his...
Collected Poems
AuthorThom Gunn
ISBN0374524335
The first of the poems in Thom Gunn’s Collected to really knock me out appears half way through his second book, The Sense of Movement (1957). In the poem, “To Yvor Winters, 1955,” Gunn pays homage to his former teacher with a portrait of the Stanford professor that compares his training of Airedale...

AuthorMark Strand

More than twenty-five years after the appearance of his first Selected Poems, we at last have a magnificent new gathering of Mark Strand’s work, one that spans and celebrates his entire remarkable career to date.

Selected Poems
AuthorWallace Stevens
ISBN0375711732
Wallace Stevens' poetry is non-easy,
which likely is why to most readers,
even those of poetry, these poems
are regarded less highly than by more
academically inclined aficionados
of the art form, who are apt to rank
the man similarly to others such as
T.S. Eliot, Ezra...
Houseboat Days
AuthorJohn Ashbery
ISBN0374525900
This reissue of a book of thirty-nine poems, first collected in 1977, reminds us of Ashbery's astonishing explorations (to use Donald Barthelme's words) of places where no one has ever been. "Wet Casements," "Syringa," "Loving Mad Tom," and the long "Fantasia on 'The Nut-Brown Maid, '" which concludes...
