Moss's first book of poetry since his Pulitzer Prize-nominated Asleep in the Garden, The History of Color showcases his entire body of work, including poems from his four previous collections, poems published exclusively in such papers as The New Yorker, The Nation and the Times Literary Supplement, a group of early poems never-before-available, plus forty new poems. Revealing the true trajectory of one of our greatest and most unassuming artists, this is a lifetime of poetry, of rarest form.
