COLLECTED EARLY POEMS brings together for the first time much of Robert Lavett Smith’s unpublished early work, and more importantly, the complete texts of four long-out-of-print chapbooks. These titles comprise most poems of the first decades of his career that he has chosen to preserve. His first full-length collection, Everything Moves With A Disfigured Grace, is also included here in its entirety. The text has been diligently revisited and revised. This handsome volume provides a definitive edition of previously unavailable works by this rewarding poet, and is ideal for both old fans and new readers.
