Early in his career, Robert Creeley believed that his greatest contributions to literature would be in prose. Although he has since established himself as one of the most influential poets of the twentieth century, his remarkable body of prose work remains an essential part of his oeuvre. In addition to his first book of short stories The Gold Diggers, a novel The Island, a radio play Listen, and Mabel: A Story, this omnibus edition includes two previously uncollected stories.
