In 1940, when John Wheelwright was killed by a speeding car, Boston
lost one of its most colorful personalities and American poetry one
of its most original and provocative talents. Like so many artists
who have pioneered fresh techniques, Wheelwright received little
popular recognition in his short lifetime, although his work caught
the eyes of perspicacious critics, who marked him as a man to
watch. Originally published in a clothbound edition in 1972,
Wheelwright's Collected Poems are now presented in paperbook
format. Included are the three books brought out while he
lived--Rock and Shell (1933), Mirrors of Venus (1938), and
Political Self-Portrait (1940)--as well as the previously
unpublished collection Dawn to Dust and miscellaneous other poems.
The book has a preface by the editor, Alvin H. Rosenfeld, a
memorial poem by Robert Fitzgerald, and a foreword by Austin Warren
that places the poet firmly in the category of "New England Saint."
