Very Collected Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781566897433)

Over sixty years of poems celebrating one of the most dynamic careers in twentieth and twenty-first century American poetry.

Gathering a lifetime of poetry, Ron Padgett's Very Collected Poems is the ultimate record of the Pulitzer Prize Finalist's oeuvre--newly updated and completed since the sold-out first edition hit shelves in 2013. Padgett's poems reverberate with his reading and friendships, from Andrew Marvell to Woody Guthrie and Kenneth Koch, alongside his musings on art and family. Wry, insightful, and direct, they offer readers the rewards of his endless curiosity and generous spirit.
