Within a decade of her death in 1987, each of Ann Stanford's ten books had slipped out of print and her final manuscript-completed just before she died-remained unpublished. Through the effort of two former students, this creeping silence will finally end with the publication of this major selected poems. Like her fellow Californians Robinson Jeffers and Gary Snyder, Stanford's poems are consumed by natural landscape and lost nature. Yet she is an urban poet, a poet of Los Angeles who published poetry, criticism, a translation of "The Bhagavad Gita," and the first major anthology of women's poetry.Listening to Color"Now that blue has had its sayhas told its winds, wall, sicksky even, I can listen to white""sweet poison flowers hedge autumn under a sky white at the edgeslike faded paper.
