Although well known for his erotic poems about white men, Shepherd also wrote consistently about the natural world and its endangerment and his grief over his mother's death. Presented in both publication order and the order in which they originally appeared within each collection, these poems highlight the most important themes of Shepherd's work, along with both his predictability and unpredictability as a poet. Jericho Brown's introduction provides additional context and insight on the life and work of this complex, groundbreaking figure in American poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822948216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168","brand":"Reginald Shepherd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43624026767541,"sku":"9780822948216","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_9468b72f-6f44-4292-90d8-e3d9d41e31cd.jpg?v=1707798807","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-selected-shepherd-poems-9780822948216","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
