New and Selected Poems

This collection, published just as Robert Dana passed away from a long battle with cancer, brings together his work 55 years of a long and distinguished career in poetry and literature. Dana was among the first poets to graduate from Iowa's prestigious Writers' Workshop. While there he studied with Robert Lowell, John Berryman, W.D. Snodgrass and Donald Justice, among others. This beautiful book is something that all who love Dana's work must have, and for those who may not know his work well, it gives the reader the best introduction to Robert Dana's work that's out there.
