"A Collected Poems
is a tombstone – there’s no getting away from that. So it was with decidedly mixed feelings that I approached this project. But it has to be said this is a good moment to pause and take stock; it’s been a while now since verse composition was central to my practice, and the work of some forty years can be looked back on with some degree of objectivity, now that I am no longer fabricating lines, but rather sentences (though there are a lot of those here too).
[As with my previous (now superseded) Selected
volume], the poems are presented in the form of their original, separately published books. I tend to compose in books … and most of those books are now either out of print, or in a few cases were never actually published as I had intended. I hope they have a decent after-life in these pages." —Ken Edwards
