Book: Herman Melville: Selected Poems A comprehensive collection of the poetry of a presiding genius of American literature
While best known for such novels as his monumental "Moby-Dick," Herman Melville was also an extraordinarily gifted poet. This is the most complete anthology of Melvilleas poetry ever published in a single volume. It features a large selection from "Battle-Pieces" and "Aspects of the War," along with Melvilleas own notes and prose supplement; cantos from all four books of "Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land"; selections from Melvilleas later books, "Timoleon, John Marr and Other Sailors," and "Weeds and Wildings, Chiefly, with a Rose or Two"; as well as a number of his powerful and lesserknown uncollected poems. This volume will usher in a new appreciation for Melvilleas poetic gifts.
