About the author

Robert Creeley was an American poet and author of more than sixty books. He is usually associated with the Black Mountain poets, though his verse aesthetic diverged from that school's. He was close with Charles Olson, Robert Duncan, Allen Ginsberg, John Wieners and Ed Dorn. He served as the Samuel P. Capen Professor of Poetry and the Humanities at State University of New York at Buffalo, and lived in Waldoboro, Maine, Buffalo, New York and Providence, Rhode Island, where he taught at Brown University. He was a recipient of the Lannan Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award, and was much beloved as a generous presence in many poets' lives.

[Christopher · Rating 2 out of 5]

Alright, I'm done trying with this guy. Do you know anybody that people respect, talk about a lot.. they think this person is quite talented and so very good at what they do, but you just don't see it? You think they are a bit of a hack, and don't really try all that hard. Is this persons name Robert Creeley? Yeah, I thought so.

There were some really great poems in here. Creeley knows how to "hook you in." Some of the smaller poems (sometimes of only a few words) were so perfectly executed. Also, the book is just absolutely beautiful.
