Following the highly acclaimed "Collected Poems of Ted Berrigan, "
poets Alice Notley, Anselm Berrigan, and Edmund Berrigan have
collaborated again on this new selection of poems by one of the
most influential and admired poets of his generation. Reflecting a
new editorial approach, this volume demonstrates the breadth of Ted
Berrigan's poetic accomplishments by presenting his most
celebrated, interesting, and important work. This major second-wave
New York School poet is often identified with his early poems,
especially "The Sonnets, " but this selection encompasses his full
poetic output, including the later sequences "Easter Monday" and "A
Certain Slant of Sunlight, " as well as many of his uncollected
poems. The Selected Poems of Ted Berrigan provides a new
perspective for those already familiar with his remarkable wit and
invention, and introduces new readers to what John Ashbery called
the "crazy energy" of this iconoclastic, funny, brilliant, and
highly innovative writer.
