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Pulitzer Prize-winning poet's more than sixty-year career includes "In Trackless Woods" and several new and previously unpublished pieces. Reprint.

"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."
