A comprehensive collection of works written throughout the course of the National Book Award and two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning poet's more than sixty-year career includes "In Trackless Woods" and several new and previously unpublished pieces.

"Richard Wilbur is living, white, male and, from all appearances, neither despondent nor mad. This is not a writer to whom glamour will attach easily....In addition to being filled with light, music and wit, and a generous and very native aplomb, these poems form an argument about how one goal of the well-lived life might be composure, rather than the mad flowering of a personal signature....The emergence of a poet like Wilbur as a hero to a new generation of critics is cause for hope: that readers...might rediscover poems written in the spirit of generosity and care, and disciplined by the idea of an uncaptive audience."
