Selected Poems of Robert Penn Warren

I bought this, because as an unpublished poet, I wanted to read something that was well-written but which was outside of what I've been influenced by for many years: the New York School (Ashbery, O'Hara, et al.) and Wallace Stevens. Plus, Warren brings a sense of history, as in much of his fiction, to his poetry--something I find lacking in much American poetry of the last 75 years. That sense gives it an extra dimension. Wonderful book, and an exemplary writer.
