Selected Poems: Expanded Edition

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 ).
