SELECTED POEMS of EDWARD LOOMIS

Some of the free verse offered here  was first published in Poems of a Cockroach (1970):  this was a self-published pamphlet illustrated with drawings by Gerry Haggerty.  EVERYMAN  was made into a film with a rather dubious sound-track bringing  the thing down.  This book is a gathering of work  of the last  thirty years, and it is a selection, exactly.  That might be its strong point.  These poems are what I think of as my best stuff, and are offered as that.
