A poet of and for our time, his own formal structures--the shape of his poems and his highly charged breath-line--nevertheless look back to the classics, to the Provençal troubadours, and to the Romantic verse of Blake, Keats, and Shelley. McClure's \u003cem\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/em\u003e is the first major retrospective collection of a poet and Obie-winning playwright associated with the San Francisco Renaissance from its start as well as the early Beat movement. The poems in the book, chosen by McClure himself, hold the undiminished force of three decades' work distilled. Included in \u003cem\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/em\u003e are poems and long passages from nine of the author's earlier collections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael McClure\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811209519","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43293861150857,"sku":"9780811209519","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_9c02a231-71b4-4101-ac7e-5767cd4ff0d4.jpg?v=1737444883","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/selected-poems-of-mcclure-pa-9780811209519","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
