American Wake: New & Selected Poems
by Thomas Rabbitt
Category: Poetry

"American Wake contains fourteen new poems plus poems from six of Thomas Rabbitt's previous books (several smaller books and chapbooks are not represented). The present volume is thus "selected" rather than "collected," and the poems were chosen by the author on the basis of what caused him the least urge - looking back over three decades of writing - to "slash and burn.""--BOOK JACKET.
