Jane Kenyon is one of America's most prized contemporary poets. Her previous collection, "Otherwise: New and Selected Poems," published just after her death in 1995, has been a favorite among readers, with more than 80,000 copies in print, and is a contemporary classic.

"Collected Poems" assembles all of Kenyon's published poetry in one book. Included here are the complete poems found in her four previous volumes "From Room to Room," "The Boat of Quiet Hours," "Let Evening Come," and "Constance" as well as the poems that appear in her posthumous volumes "Otherwise" and "A Hundred White Daffodils," four poems never before published in book form, and her translations in "Twenty Poems of Anna Akhmatova.""
