The paperback edition of the author's collected poems, which restores to print and prominence the work of the elusive poet Douglas Crase, best known for his award-winning collection The Revisionist.MacArthur "genius" Douglas Crase is best known for his invocations of the American landscape and Transcendental tradition. Out of print since 1987, The Revisionsist has been enough in some opinions to establish him as one of the most important poets of his generation. Its influence persists, says The Oxford Book of American Poetry, as a "formidable underground reputation." By combining that book with Crase's recent chapbook, The Astropastorals, Nightboat Books brings Crase's underground reputation to a wider audience for the first time in thirty-two years.
