Selected Poems of Yvor Winters

"[The] agon between order and chaos, excess and restraint, entropic nature and sustaining reason constitutes the central tension in Winters's later work. The poems display the simple diction and regular metrics of Ben Jonson, yet, as with Jonson, there is nothing simplistic or staid about them....Though a larger volume [of Winters's poems]...would have been preferable, one does not regret the space ceded here to Helen Pinkerton Trimpi's ample and lucid introductory essay....[Winters's is an] exceptional and woefully overlooked poetry."Barth, R. L. is the author of 'Selected Poems of Yvor Winters' with ISBN 9780804010122 and ISBN 0804010129.
