Occasional revisions are addressed by Kinnell in a prefatory note. The life of this great American poet is glimpsed over the years - his childhood in New England, the early death of his brother, an exuberant youth in New York City, a wife and children, aloneness and new love. The natural world serves as backdrop to this life's journey, informing both the philosophical and the personal verse represented in A New Selected Poems.« less
