Yummy-licious poetry

I purchased this book because it had one of my favorite poems in it: "What There Is." I did not know that Patchen was such a prolific poet, however, and the books contains many poems new to me. This is fairly comprehensive, containing far more than the first collection of his which I bought in the 1970s.
