A Dark Dreambox of Another Kind: The Poems of Alfred Starr Hamilton

"Hamilton is the author of spare, wry, slightly surreal poems that have, so far as I can see, no real equivalent in American English." --Ron Silliman

Though Alfred Starr Hamilton wrote thousands of poems during his lifetime, only a small percentage of them ever found their way into print. His poems appeared in small poetry journals during the '60s, '70s and '80s; in two chapbooks, The Big Parade and Sphinx; and in one full-length collection, The Poems of Alfred Starr Hamilton, published by The Jargon Society in 1970. In this new volume, Ben Estes and Alan Felsenthal present a collection of Hamilton's poems from these publications, along with many of Hamilton's poems that were previously considered lost and poems from posthumously found notebooks.
Alfred Starr Hamilton (1914-2005) was an American poet from Montclair, New Jersey. His publications include the chapbooks Sphinx, The Big Parade and the full-length collection The Poems of Alfred Starr Hamilton.
