  Al Alvarez, New & Selected Poems
That volume, Autumn to Autumn and Selected Poems 1953-1976, contained all that Alvarez wished to preserve of his poetry at that time, and it was greeted enthusiastically by the reviewers.
Some of the poems I knew already, but I was unprepared for the extent of the achievement, whether in the more recent or the earlier poems.
The poems that follow, apparently connected with a too-hasty marriage bringing conflict, humiliating hurt, and ultimately a suicide attempt, are the closest he comes to the confessional extremities of the American poets he admired Plath, John Berryman Robert Lowell.

 Anne Brontë (1820-1849)
The maiden of the poem is young, newly experiencing adult feelings of attraction for a male acquaintance, and thankfully concealing them from all those around her.
An identification of Anne with the maiden is consistent with Anne's characterization of poems as "pillars of witness", and with an assessment of her personality as combining deep feeling with stern self-control.
Her autobiographical poem "Self-Communion" of 1847-1848, speaks wistfully of those "whose love may freely gush and flow" and "whose dreams of bliss were not in vain".

 berniE-zine Book Reviews: Selected Poems, by Mark Strand
One of the greatest joys of reading a collection of 'selected poems' by a poet, is the ability to see the progression of a poet's style. 
Poems in the earliest group are culled from Strand's 1964 collection,
Poet Laureates are not "born", they are cultivated.  Seeing the progression of one gives you an idea of the work needed to hone and finesse a poet's individual style over his or her lifetime.

 Selected Poems and Prose of Paul Celan (Main Page)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Paul Celan was born in 1920 in the East European province of Bukovina.
Self-exiled in Paris, for twenty-five years Celan continued writing in his German mother tongue, although it had "passed through the thousand darknesses of deathbringing speech." His writing purges and remakes that language, often achieving a hope-struck radiance never before seen in modern poetry.
All poems appear in the original and in translation on facing pages.

 Review - News & Smoke: Selected Poems by Sharon Thesen
This collection of poems features selections from Thesen's six books of poetry, of which only one is still in print, and some of her previously uncollected poems which have hitherto only appeared in magazines.
At the same time, her subjects veer from the ridiculous to the sublime, the sublime in the ridiculous: she is equally comfortable writing about Artemis' dissatisfaction with love ('Artemis Hates Romance') as she is writing about the sky-diving Elvises in the film HONEYMOON IN VEGAS ('On First Watching "Honeymoon in Vegas"').
However disparate the poems in this collection, spanning a writing career from the late 70s to the late 90s, they are united by a certain sense of mistrust.

 Powell's Books - Theodore Roethke: Selected Poems: Selected Poems (American Poets Project) by Edward Hirsch
This gathering of Roethke's works also includes several of his poems for children, and a generous sampling from his notebook writings, offering a glimpse of the poet at work with the raw materials of language and ideas.
His poems, suffused with awe and wonder, reveal him as a "worthy successor to Whitman and Emerson," as editor Edward Hirsch writes in his introduction.
Editor Edward Hirsch's selection and introduction illuminate the daring and intensity of a poet who, in poems such as "My Papa's Waltz" and "The Lost Son," reached back into the abyss of childhood in an attempt to wrest self-knowledge out of memory.

 Selected Poems
He wrote poems on English history and topography (England’s Heroical Epistles, 1597–99; the 15,000-line panoramic Poly-Olbion, 1612–22; Mortimeriados, 1596, recast in The Barons’ Wars, 1597); satires (The Owl, 1604, and “The Moon Calf,” 1627); a Spenserian, though mock-heroic, fairyland poem (Nymphidia, 1627); and the idyllic Muses’ Elysium (1630).
His poems are concerned with human tragedies and fears, his reaction to the complexities of life, and his ultimate acceptance of his burdens.
Many of her poems are religious, some melancholy and death-obsessed, e.g., “Uphill” and “When I Am Dead, My Dearest.” Possessing a spontaneous lyrical gift, she had a firm command of traditional poetic forms.

 Selected Poems
The appearance of a sleek, intelligently honed selection of Olson's unwieldy oeuvre is reason to cheer.
His poetry embraces themes of empowering love, political responsibility, the wisdom of dreams, the intellect as a unit of energy, the restoration of the archaic, and the transformation of consciousness--all carried in a voice both intimate and grand, American and timeless, impassioned and coolly demanding.
In this selection of some 70 poems, Robert Creeley has sought to present a personal reading of Charles Olson's decisive and inimitable work--"unequivocal instances of his genius"--over the many years of their friendship.

 Jacket # 7 - OVERTIME: Selected Poems by Philip Whalen, Reviewed by Tom Clark
Philip Whalen's «Overtime» regathers many hard-to-find poems of a venerable reclusive Zen master, cosmic wit, Beat original and surviving philosopher-perpetrator of the San Francisco poetry renaissance.
However ironically self-distanced, Whalen's poems are haunted by an odd tone of disappointment, which lingers as a kind of shade around the focused light of many long, monastic 'single room in the city' nights.
The Whalen writing persona is lonely by fate, not by choice, and the sense of failure seems to have to do not with fame or success but with an inability to finally catch up with his poetry's elusive, magnetic Muse.
