Collected Poems, 1951-1971: On Metaphor and Mortality, (Paperback)

"It will seem increasingly to many attentive readers that this volume--the most distinguished book of American verse, in my judgment, since the publication of Wallace Stevens's Collected Poems in 1955--marks the permanent establishment of a major visionary poet."--Harold Bloom "No mere gathering of poems, this collection is like one an explorer brings back."--David Kalstone
