Sterling, George. COMPLETE POETRY VOLUME 1: CHORDS OF FIRE [with] COMPLETE POETRY VOLUME 2: TO A GIRL DANCING [with] COMPLETE POETRY VOLUME 3: THE STRANGER AT THE GATE. Edited by S. T. Joshi and David E. Schultz. New York: Hippocampus Press, [2013]. Octavo, three volumes, illustrations, cloth. First edition. "This edition constitutes the first complete collection of George Sterling's poetry, including his poetic dramas and hundreds of uncollected and unpublished poems. It is hoped that the assemblage of such a wealth of material will help to provide the basis for a thorough re-examination of Sterling's place in American poetry and an understanding of the totality of his literary achievement. Sterling may perhaps be more justly regarded as a central figure in the thriving literary community in California during his lifetime, but this edition should establish conclusively that his own poetic gifts were noteworthy and deserve preservation" (Joshi and Schultz, "introduction"). In addition to the introduction by Joshi and Schultz, there is a useful 7-page preface by Kevin Starr. A fine set without dust jackets in cloth slipcase. (#174578).
