Seldom can the word "great" be used of the work of a contemporary in any art. But surely it applies to the poems of James Dickey.This volume represents, under one cover, the major work of the man whom critics and readers have designated the authentic poet of his American generation. For this collection, James Dickey has selected from his four published books all those poems that reflect his truest interests and his growth as an artist. He has added more than a score of new poems - in effect, a new book in themselves - that have not previously been published in volume form.Wesleyan poetry.American poetry20th centuryAmerican poetry811811.54Dickey James744796MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826722203321Poems, 1957-19673942588UNINA
