The far field: last poems

With Roethke’s sudden, tragic death in 1963, a great poetic career was brought to an untimely end. The Far Field presents the most rewarding of his many volumes of poetry, both in brilliance of style and inner meaning. All of the poems have appeared previously in periodicals such as The Atlantic Monthly, Harper’s, Ladies’ Home Journal, The New Yorker, and The Partisan Review. Lightning Print on Demand Title.
