This volume gathers together all of Valentine\'s published Poems and includes a new collection, Door in the Mountain.
Spare and intensely-felt, Valentine\'s Poems present experience as only imperfectly graspable.
Winner of the National Book Award in Poetry (2004) Since the 1965 publication of her first book, Dream Barker, selected for the Yale Younger Poets Award, Jean Valentine has published eight collections of poetry to critical acclaim.
