A COLLECTION OF UNPUBLISHED POEMS FROM ONE OF THE MOST DISTINCTIVE POETIC VOICES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY — of an evening real as paint on canvas. — The kind that makes me ache to have the gift — for dusting off clichés: — not, make it new, but, see it, hear it, freshly. — The context (good morrow, haven?t we met in this context —       before?)...  more »as though he saw neither the work in hand nor the subject,

the painter began.

                                                   
—from “A Blue Shadow Painting?

Other Flowers brings together 165 unseen poems from James Schuyler, one of the twentieth century?s most acclaimed writers. This carefully arranged edition presents a broad range of Schuyler?s work, spanning from the early 1950s until his death in 1991.
