The Revisionist & The Astropastorals

MacArthur genius Douglas Crase is best known for his invocations of the American landscape and Transcendental tradition. Out of print since 1987, The Revisionist has been enough in some opinions to establish him as one of the most important poets of his generation. Its influence persists, says The Oxford Book of American Poetry, as a formidable underground reputation. By combining that book with Crases recent chapbook, The Astropastorals, Nightboat Books brings Crases underground reputation to a wider audience for the first time in thirty-two years.
