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 Melvilles poetry ever published in a
single volume. It features a large selection from "Battle-Pieces"
and "Aspects of the War," along with Melvilles own notes and prose
supplement; cantos from all four books of "Clarel: A Poem and
Pilgrimage in the Holy Land"; selections from Melvilles 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 Melvilles poetic gifts.
