The Selected Poems of Howard Nemerov
By Howard Nemerov
·
Edited by Daniel Anderson
·
Foreword by Wyatt Prunty
Judiciously selected and introduced by poet Daniel Anderson, The Selected Poems of Howard Nemerov represents the broad spectrum of Nemerov’s virtues as a poet—his intelligence, his wit, his compassion, and his irreverence. It stands as the retrospective collection of the best of what Nemerov left behind, which is some of the finest poetry that the twentieth century produced.
