Body Rags, Mortal Acts, Mortal Words, and The Past: these three books are central to the life's work of one of the masters of contemporary poetry. Published here in one volume, they include many of Galway Kinnell's best-loved and most-anthologized poems, such as "The Porcupine," "The Bear," "After Making Love We Hear Footsteps," "St. Francis and the Sow," "Fergus Falling," "The Olive Wood Fire," "Prayer," and "The Fundamental Project of Technology." In some of the poems in this edition, Kinnell has made revisions, which he comments upon in a prefatory note.
