Poetry. Inspired by Eastern, pre-Socratic, and Native American art and ideas, Robert Bringhurst's SELECTED POEMS gathers work from fifteen volumes and embodies music, ecology, mythology, and philosophy. As he writes, "When you think intensely and beautifully, something happens." Bringhurst's passion for books and words extends to the design and typography of this gorgeous volume.
