The Selected Poems of Ted Berrigan

Demonstrates the breadth of Ted Berrigan's poetic accomplishments by presenting his celebrated and important work. Often identified with his early poems, especially "The Sonnets," this selection of poems encompasses his full poetic output, including the "Easter Monday" and "A Certain Slant of Sunlight". Following the highly acclaimed "Collected Poems of Ted Berrigan," poets Alice Notley, Anselm Berrigan, and Edmund Berrigan have collaborated again on this new selection of poems by one of the most influential and admired poets of his generation. Reflecting a new editorial approach, this volume demonstrates the breadth of Ted Berrigan's poetic accomplishments by presenting his most celebrated, interesting, and important work. This major second-wave New York School poet is often identified with his early poems, especially "The Sonnets," but this selection encompasses his full poetic output, including the later sequences "Easter Monday" and "A Certain Slant of Sunlight," as well as many of his uncollected poems. "The Selected Poems of Ted Berrigan" provides a new perspective for those already familiar with his remarkable wit and invention, and introduces new readers to what John Ashbery called the 'crazy energy' of this iconoclastic, funny, brilliant, and highly innovative writer. Praise for "The Collected Poems of Ted Berrigan": "This is a great, great book for all seasons of the mind and heart." (Robert Creeley)."Thanks to this invaluable "Collected Poems," one can hear, as never before, Ted Berrigan dreaming his dream." ("The Nation"). "The Collected Poems of Ted Berrigan is not only one of the most strikingly attractive books recently published, but is also a major work of 20th-century poetry.It is a book that will darken with the grease of my hands. There is no better way to praise it than by saying, 'If you enjoy poetry, you should have it.'" ("Bloomsbury Review"). "It's a must-have, a poetic knockout." ("Time Out New York").
