Collected Poems is the first book in the Graywolf Poetry Re/View Series, which brings essential books of contemporary American poetry back into print. Each volume—chosen by series editor Mark Doty—is introduced by a poet who brings to the work a passionate admiration.
“Measured experience informs these poems, as Lynda Hull’s voice comes alive again and again, line to line and image to image…. Because Hull has troubled the waters, her poetry makes us truer to ourselves and those around us. Each image is a beam in a persistent searchlight that penetrates.” —Yusef Komunyakaa
“Lynda Hull (1954–1994) was perhaps the most intensely lyrical poet of her generation. Her charged, sensuous music—influenced by jazz and the densely wrought sonics of Hart Crane—is wedded to an indelible vision. In her broken, late-century American landscape of ruined cities, a desperate beauty flashes among the wreckage of individual lives.” —Mark Doty
