This special Crest ediction of VERSE represents the first appearance of John Updike's collected poetry in a single volume, and contains the complete poems from two volumes originally published as "The Carpentered Hen" and "Telephone Poles." A collection of John Updike poetry, this book is a great companion for the poetry enthusiast. Long before he won the 1964 National Book Award for "The Centaur" and critics were hailing him as "the most gifted writer of his generation" for his earlier novels and short stories, he created these timeless literature included in this book, the "Verse."
