Bink Noll is all but forgotten now, and his three books are out of print. But for those few who remember him or know his work, he remains the Vermeer of American poetry. One of a notable group of American poets who graduated from Princeton University in the 1940s and early ’50s, Noll published three acclaimed collections in his lifetime. Here we have a selection from his first two volumes, while his third, The House , an extended meditation on the domestic individual, is rendered in its entirety. David R. Slavitt, poet and novelist, has distilled and presented the very best of Moore’s work from amongst the many published and unpublished poems available.
