He may be my favorite all-time poet, but such grand proclamations are always problematic when you love so many other authors, like Rimbaud, Lorca, Rilke, Keith Douglas, Plath, Elizabeth Bishop, etc. All I know, is that I have just received this book in the mail today and it is everything and more than my expectations of joy had anticipated. It is good to have the immense thrill of discovery at this middle age of life. I have owned and loved the Posthumous Poetry for almost ten or more years and always held them in high regard, and sort of never thought about that book being his unpublished unknown poems, and that there was more out there, having never come across a copy of this Complete Poetry book in my searches. Now in this internet age, searching and finding things is so much easier and not at the mercy of less knowledgable book buyers in the regional bookstores you are stuck with. The shipping update said it had just shipped last night, so I did not expect it on my doorstep today, and there it was, and now I am overcome with the joy of the opportunity just to read the poetry, and after reading the first 30 pages of "The Black Heralds" I am overcome with the lyrical mastery of Vallejo. Such beauty and emotional resonance, exceeding even my love of Lorca or Rimbaud.
