Antler: The Selected Poems

New York: Soft Skull Press, 2000. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 6x0x9. Signed by author. ALS laid in, inscribed and signed by author on title page. A few smudges on fore edge, light crease on front corner. 2000 Trade Paperback. iv, 197 pp. A collection of out-of-print work of a major poet from the Boomer/post-Beat era. Most notable being "Factory," a work Allen Ginsberg praised as a "definitely powerful epic by one of Whitman's 'poets and orators to come.'" Antler is vociferously critical of environmental destruction and the "progress" of civilization. Also Whitmanesque is Antler's expansive sexuality and naturalism, guilelessly and openly presented.
