This volume, the first to span the forty-year career of poet William Kloefkorn, brings together the best-known and most beloved poems by one of the most important Midwestern poets of the last half century. Collecting work from limited editions and hard-to-find books, along with Kloefkorn's most anthologized poems, this is an indispensable one-volume compendium of the work of a major American poet.
