This collection includes Advice to a Prophet and Other Poems, Things of This World, Ceremony and Other Poems, and The Beautiful Changes and Other Poems.
One of the best poets of his generation, Richard Wilbur has imagined excellence, and has created it. --Richard Eberhart, New York Times Book Review
A testament to a lifetime of craft, this collection reveals:
- Formal Mastery: Discover meticulously crafted sonnets, ballades, and verse that find profound meaning in structure and sound, demonstrating the elegant precision that helped define a generation of American poetry.
- Nature and Perception: Journey from New England woods to European landscapes, where every leaf, stone, and creature is observed with a painter's eye and a philosopher's insight.
- Art and History: Engage with poems that speak to the works of Degas and Giacometti, converse with mythology, and find modern resonance in the classical world.
- Four Seminal Works: This single volume contains the complete texts of The Beautiful Changes, Ceremony, Things of This World (winner of the Pulitzer Prize), and Advice to a Prophet.
