Formal Mastery: Discover meticulously crafted sonnets, ballades, and verse that find profound meaning in structure and sound, demonstrating the elegant precision that helped define a generation of American poetry.
Nature and Perception: Journey from New England woods to European landscapes, where every leaf, stone, and creature is observed with a painter's eye and a philosopher's insight.
Art and History: Engage with poems that speak to the works of Degas and Giacometti, converse with mythology, and find modern resonance in the classical world.
Four Seminal Works: This single volume contains the complete texts of The Beautiful Changes, Ceremony, Things of This World (winner of the Pulitzer Prize), and Advice to a Prophet.
