Collected Poems 1943–2004 is the comprehensive collection of Wilbur's astonishing, timeless work. It will serve as the most referenced trove of this beloved poet's best verses for many years to come.\n\nIn Trackless Woods\nIn trackless woods, it puzzled me to find\nFour great rock maples seemingly aligned,\nAs if they had been set out in a row\nBefore some house a century ago,\nTo edge the property and lend some shade.\nI looked to see if ancient wheels had made\nOld ruts to which the trees ran parallel,\nBut there were none, so far as I could tell–\nThere'd been no roadway. Nor could I find the square\nDepression of a cellar anywhere,\nAnd so I tramped on further, to survey\nAmazing patterns in a hornbeam spray\nOr spirals in a pine cone, under trees\nNot subject to our stiff geometries.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0156030799\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0156030799.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Wilbur, Richard\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
