Description

Alfred Starr Hamilton

Edited by Ben Estes and Alan Felsenthal

Introduction by Geof Hewitt

Though Hamilton wrote thousands of poems during his lifetime, only a small percentage of them ever found their way into print. His poems appeared in small poetry journals during the 60s, 70s and 80s; two chapbooks, The Big Parade and Sphinx; and one full-length collection, The Poems of Alfred Starr Hamilton, published by The Jargon Society in 1970. In this new volume, Ben Estes and Alan Felsenthal present a collection of Hamilton s poems from these publications, along with many of Hamilton s poems that were previously considered lost and poems from posthumously found notebooks.
