The World at Large
New and Selected Poems, 1971-1996
The World at Large brings together the best of James McMichael’s poetry and includes works that appear for the first time in this volume. With the publication of the new poems, McMichael surpasses even the formally daring and psychologically penetrating poetry that has characterized his work thus far.
