Poems: New and Selected James Laughlin First edition
Poems: New and Selected
James Laughlin
James Laughlin's poetry spans a period of over sixty years, from the first verses written in his signature "typewriter metric" to the most recent pieces that open Poems New and Selected. He reveals himself in his poems as a master of concision, of the well-placed word that penetrates the human heart. Over two hundred and twenty-five poems included here show his technical brilliance as well: in short- and long-line poems; in his autobiographical "Byways"; in "(American) French" poems and their translations of his own devising. For readers coming to Laughlin's work for the first time, this collection will be a sea of undiscovered riches, and for longtime devotees, a chance to ply once again the well-charted waters of his poetry.
