Substantial works from the five decades of John Powell Ward's
career are featured in this volume of collected poems. Profiled are
his writings from early uncollected work to 1969's "The Other Man,
through his 1980s volumes, "To Get Clear and "The Clearing, and
onward toward a late flowering that included a dramatic shift in
style and technique, starting with the remarkable "Genesis in 1996
and leading to "Late Thoughts in March in the latter half of the
1990s. The book concludes with a selection of new and uncollected
poems. Ward fans learn how he evolved a startling, experimental
technique focused on letters of the alphabet, and how his wider
concerns--history, the human peril to the natural world, and tragic
events and their aftermaths--are played out across a formal grid of
beautiful complexity.
