“Stern’s unadorned craftsmanship has few rivals in American
letters.”—Philadelphia
Inquirer
Early Collected Poems
gathers the poems from the first six books of Gerald Stern’s
body of work. A master poet, Stern has sought new language
for the overlooked, neglected, and unseen facets of human
experience. Whether writing about modern poets, Hebrew
prophets, death, war, or love, “Stern’s literary songs are
sharp, surprising, and unerring in their delivery”
(Ploughshares, Editor’s Choice).
