This is the first of the monumental three-volume Complete Poems of Robert Graves, edited by Dunstan Ward and the poet's widow Beryl Graves. It restores hundreds of poems that Graves omitted from the canon or overlooked in his continual refinements and, with its scholarly apparatus, will lead to a revaluation of his entire poetic oeuvre. Randall Jarrell wrote: 'Some [of the poems] are extraordinary, many are masterly, all are like nothing else ever written in them many things -- some of them most unusual things -- are well felt, well seen, well imagined, and well expressed.'
