About this title: Robert Duncan's profound appeal as a writer, and as a mentor to very different kinds of poets, suggests the vigour, various charm and scope of his work. He is certainly a poet aware - in his themes and his expansive techniques - of his radical creative role. "Selected Poems" is an introduction to his work from early pieces through the final "Ground Work" collections. His serial poems "Structures of Rime" and "Passages", composed over 25 years, are represented too.

"This was pretty much my first exposure to Robert Duncan. i don't think i could have appreciated his work without understanding and identifying his dense attention to prosody. the discipline he affords his poetry may require a few rereads, but the depth of spirit it reveals is definitely worth it. as a modern poet, some of the subject matter contained in these works is very relevant today, particularly Duncan's bitter hostility towards the political and military machines defining and driving the economies of the superpowers of the world and their effect on psyche and spirit as the common individual searches for a place to call home in a generally beautiful, but often cold and exactingly absolute universe. he invokes dreams, imagination and memories as the paradises where true immortality resides."
