From the publication of his first collection, The Elusive Resurrection, in 1966, to his death in 2001 at the age of sixty-one, Al Pittman stood as one of the most respected and admired poets in Newfoundland. This definitive edition spans nearly four decades of poetic production, reprints each of Pittman’s remarkable collections, and includes previously unpublished poems. The Collected Poems of Al Pittman at last offers readers the chance to appreciate this influential poet’s work in its entirety.
