This volume offers the first comprehensive volume of her poetry and short fiction, including all three of the books she published during her lifetime-Ten Poems, The Dark Land, and The Pepper Trees-along with the vast majority of her published works, recovered from magazines large and small, and a selection of nearly forty previously unpublished works.
