He left behind an exquisite body of work, collected in this definitive edition, including \u003cem\u003eA Ballad of Remembrance\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWords in the Mourning Time\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Night-Blooming Cereus\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAngle of Ascent\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eAmerican Journal\u003c\/em\u003e, which was nominated for a National Book Award. Also included is an introduction by American poet Reginald Dwayne Betts, as well as an afterword by Arnold Rampersad that provides a critical and historical context. In Hayden's work the actualities of history and culture became the launching places for flights of imagination and intelligence. His voice--characterized by musical diction and an exquisite feeling for the formality of pattern--is a seminal one in American life and literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Hayden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0871406799\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780871406798\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2013 pg. 11\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/05\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooks \u0026amp; Culture\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2014 pg. 35","brand":"Robert Hayden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051600507135,"sku":"9780871406798","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e6af32f2-47ed-44f2-bef0-9e6752b25a8b.jpg?v=1685014053","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/collected-poems-robert-hayden-9780871406798","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
