Eric Greinke (in Presa) has written that "Chorlton more than meets my criteria for inclusion in the canon of the best poets of the Boom Generation." With more than 90 diverse selections spanning the work of 30 years and 29 books and chapbooks, DAVID CHORLTON: SELECTED POEMS is a great introduction to Chorlton's poetry as its themes have ranged from his European background to the desert Southwest. For those already familiar with his work, these selections include many poems you may not have seen or heard. A definite must-have book.
