His \u003cem\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/em\u003e, first published in 1993, is a \"useful and portable compilation,\" says critic Tom Clark, that \"provides the most comprehensive available look at the career of the Bay Area's greatest lyric poet.\" Editor Robert J.

The second edition of the \u003cem\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/em\u003e fully fleshes out the retrospective of works chosen from the whole of Duncan's writing life.
