The Quest

by John G. Neihardt

The Quest was a landmark publication in modern American poetry, bringing together those lyrical poems most near and dear to their creator, John G. Neihardt. Featured are the poet's favorite selections from his celebrated collections A Bundle of Myrrh, Man-Song, and The Stranger at the Gates. The poems, unfailingly insightful and contemplative, run the gamut of the epic poet's physical and metaphysical experiences, from the delights of the flesh to the joys of parenthood. Also included are a number of previously uncollected poems, illuminating different facets of the complex man that was John G. Neihardt.

I loved Neihardt's Cycle of the West, but this collection of various volumes of poems from early in his career, I did not care for. Most were overwritten (way too many exclamation marks). Only a couple did I like.
