New And Collected Poems.
Publisher: New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich.. First Edition, 1988. Blue paper boards, blue cloth spine, in glossy dark blue dustjacket. Fine Copy. 393pp. Wilbur won all the prizes, but the suspicion persisted that he was merely decorative. The sa me might have been said of Moliere and Racine, both of whom Wilbur brought masterfully into English. His is an elegance of discipline and control, as neat as a fencing-master.
