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, <i>The Revisionist</i> 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 Crase’s recent chapbook, <i>The Astropastorals,</i> Nightboat Books brings Crase’s underground reputation to a wider audience for the first time in thirty-two years.
