The Collected Poems of Robert Creeley, 1975–2005: 1975-2005

This definitive collection showcases thirty years of work by one of the most significant American poets of the twentieth century, bringing together verse that originally appeared in eight acclaimed books of poetry ranging from __Hello: A Journal__ (1978) to __Life & Death__ (1998) and __If I were writing this__ (2003). Robert Creeley, who was involved with the publication of this volume before his death in 2005, helped define an emerging counter-tradition to the prevailing literary establishment—the new postwar poetry originating with Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, and Louis Zukofsky and expanding through the lives and works of Charles Olson, Robert Duncan, Allen Ginsberg, Denise Levertov, and others. __The Collected Poems of Robert Creeley, 1975–2005__ will stand together with __The Collected Poems of Robert Creeley, 1975–2000__ as essential reading for anyone interested in twentieth-century American poetry.
