COLLECTED POEMS OF THEODORE ROETHKE [Hardcover] Roethke, Theodore

Theodore Huebner Roethke (1908-1963) was an accomplished and critically acclaimed American poet. He published several volumes of award-winning poetry, of which this volume is one of the last. In 2012, he was featured on a United States postage stamp as one of ten great 20th Century American poets. Roethke was born in Saginaw, MI. He studied under the poet Robert Hillyer at Harvard University. The highly introspective nature of Roethke's work greatly influenced the poet Sylvia Plath. This collection of his poems brings together in a single volume poems published in Open House, The Lost Son and Other Poems, Praise to the End, The Waking, Words for the Wind, I Am! Says the Lamb, The Far Field, and sixteen previously uncollected poems.
