Selected Poems reaches across Robert Bringhurst's rich and varied oeuvre, including old works and new. As a poet, typographer, and lifelong student of Native American languages and oral literatures, Bringhurst balances the physical art of spoken language and the "salvageable wisdom" of pre-Columbian America that breathes fresh with every reading. A man who claims no title and no address, Bringhurst has shaped our world through his work in typography, linguistic anthropology, and--most quietly and profoundly--in poetry.
