After his death in 2012 he was again nominated for the Pulitzer, with his recently published Collected Poems. Linda Gregg, one of his lovers and a fellow poet, characterised Gilbert thus: "All Jack ever wanted to know was that he was awake - that the trees in bloom were almond trees - and to walk down the road to get breakfast. He never cared if he was poor or had to sleep on a park bench". Octavo. Original black cloth, titles in silver to spine and black to front board, top edge blue. With dust jacket.
