Sommario/riassunto

The Wilderness and Other Poems was first published in 1958. This collection, Mr. Coxe's third published volume of poetry, includes the long narrative poem ""The Wilderness"" and thirty-four shorter lyric poems. Of this book, Morton Dauwen Zabel writes: ""The Wilderness is a collection of series and thoughtful poems, scrupulously conceived and phrased, many of them notable for personal charm and feeling as well, and for combining a keenly responsible intelligence with genuine lyric and reflective emotion.""
