He is, at his best, a poet of casual grace and sly wisdom, always taking inventory of his emotional possessions, always grateful for what persists. There is nevertheless a fairly wide range of moods and modes in Snodgrass, as anyone leafing through Not for Specialists will discover. In sum, a curious career. And a marvelous one, as “Not for Specialists: New and Selected Poems” reminds us. Snodgrass published an earlier selected poems nearly 20 years ago, but this fuller edition, coinciding with his 80th birthday, clarifies as never before the range of his accomplishment.

Until the late 1970s, W. D. Snodgrass was known primarily as a confessional poet and a key player in the emergence of that mode of poetry in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Snodgrass makes poetry out of the daily neuroses and everyday failures of a man--a husband, father, and teacher. This domestic suffering occurs against a backdrop of more universal suffering which Snodgrass believes is inherent in the human experience.Not for Specialists includes 35 new poems complemented by the superb work he wrote in the Pulitzer Prize winning collection,Heart's Needle, along with poetry from seven other distinguished collections. from "Nocturnes" Seen from higher up, it makes its first move in the low creekbed, the marshlands down the valley, spreading across the open hayfields, the hedgerows with their tops still lit, laps the roadbed, flows over lawns and gardens, past the house and up the wooded hillside back behind us till only some few rays still scythe between the treetrunks from the far horizon and are gone. W. D. Snodgrass, born in Pennsylvania in 1926, is the author of more than 20 books of poetry, includingThe Fuehrer Bunker: The Complete Cycle (BOA, 1995);Each in His Season (BOA, 1993); andHeart's Needle (1959), which won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. His other books includeTo Sound Like Yourself: Essays on Poetry (BOA, 2002),After-Images: Autobiographical Sketches (BOA, 1999) and six volumes of translation, includingSelected Translations (BOA Editions, 1998), which won the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award.
