The Long Reach: New and Uncollected Poems, 1948-1984

Richard Eberhart's The Long Reach is a major new collection by one of America's most eminent poets. Now entering his eightieth year, he has brought together recent poems--some unpublished, others that had their first appearance in magazines and small press editions--and added to them works which, for one reason or another, were not included in his previous books. The result is a vigorous, diversified volume by a man whose creative energies have if anything expanded with his years.
