Selected Poems

"Selected Poems" includes over 200 works culled from Robert Lowell's books of verse--"Lord Weary's Castle," "The Mills of the Kavanaughs," "Life Studies," "For the Union Dead," "Near the Ocean," "History," "For Lizzie and Harriet," and "The Dolphin." Edited and with a foreword by the poet Frank Bidart, who also edited Collected Poems of Robert Lowell, this volume is a perfectly chosen representation of "the greatest American poet of the mid-century" (Richard Poirier, "Book Week").
