Overview
He is also one of the most sophisticated. Like William Carlos Williams, he honed his writing to a controlled and direct language. His intellectual complexity matches Wallace Stevens, his polymath erudition Ezra Pound. He is first among our nature poets. His love poems and erotic lyrics are unsurpassed. Rexroth'sSelected Poemsbrings together in a single volume a representative sampling of sixty years' work. Here are substantial passages from his longer poems:The Homestead Called Damascus(1920-1925), begun while the poet was in his teens; the cubistProlegomenon to a Theodicy(1925-1927); the philosophical masterpieceThe Phoenix and the Tortoise(1940-1944) andThe Dragon and the Unicorn(1944-1950); and the meditativeThe Heart's Garden, The Garden's Heart(1967). The shorter poems were originally gathered inIn What Hour(1940),The Art of Wordly Wisdom(1949),The Signature of All Things(1950),In Defense of the Earth(1956),Natural Numbers(1964),New Poems(1974), andThe Morning Star(1979).
