Remarkable Poems By A Truly Gifted American Author

Mark Van Doren was a Pulitzer Prize Winner, a Poet Laureate of the United States, and a much beloved Professor of English at Columbia University for over 50 years. He taught, among others... Thomas Merton, Allen Ginsburg, and Jack Kerouac. His poetry is deeply personal and richly rendered... a genuine pleasure to read. "That God should love me is more wonderful, Than that I so imperfectly love him..." and "Truth is patient past, The mind’s power to measure..." are lines that might start your interest in this remarkable artist in words.
