This is the first time this great, innovative poet’s work has been properly collected. The poetry included here was originally written and published in the 1960s and 70s, and immediately predates the work included in The Mud Fort. It includes the complete “Cycles”, War W/ Windsor”, “A History of the Solar System” and other sequences, as well as a multitude of other poems and and sets of poems, previously published in fugitive editions or not at all, presented in roughly chronological order. The volume is rounded off with Alan Halsey’s meticulous endnotes, detailing the original publishing history and variant texts.
