Stanley Burnshaw began to publish poems in the 1920s and founded his own verse journal in 1925. After serving as co-editor and drama critic of the New Masses weekly (1934-1936), he entered book publishing, directing the Dryden Press until 1958, when he joined Henry Holt. The first of his 19 earlier works, appeared in 1934 and the last in 1990, with an introduction by Denis Donoghue. The present volume - the definitive Burnshaw collection - offers all the poems he wishes to preserve and a full representation of his prose, including My Friend, My Father in its entirety.
