He is about the best we have."--John Ashbery "Robert Creeley has created a noble life body of poetry that extends the work of his predecessors Pound, Williams, Zukofsky, and Olson and provides like them a method for his successors in exploring our new American poetic consciousness."--Allen GinsbergCreeley, Robert is the author of 'On Earth Last Poems And an Essay', published 2006 under ISBN 9780520247918 and ISBN 0520247914.
