A concise, evocative tour of Adelaide Crapsey's lyric world

Verse gathers the poet's precisely crafted verse and the preface that frames her life and art. It traces Crapsey's journey from early poems to the stark, refined lyrics written during her final years, offering a steady sense of her temperament, rigor, and resilience. The edition foregrounds her signature form -- the Cinquain -- and the way compression heightens mood and meaning without sacrificing beauty.


• Sharp, image-driven poems that move with quiet momentum and spare diction.


• A thoughtful preface and biographical notes that illuminate the poet's life and craft.


• Strong themes of life, memory, love, loss, and the struggle to create under pressure.

Ideal for readers drawn to mid?20th?century lyric intensity and for those exploring how form shapes feeling in poetry.
