Reviews
"When The Collected Poems of Philip Lamantia is released later this summer, UC Press will bring long overdue attention to one of the most significant poets of the twentieth century." -- Alexis Coe SF Weekly "To our ears 'I am a criminal when your body is bare upon the universe' sounds mighty fine." Poetry Foundation/ Harriet "[Lamantia] garnered big respect and much admiration from his contemporaries on the West Coast. For he was a West Coast denizen in the main. The impression gained is that he was a 'poet's poet.' ... It is to be hoped that [this substantial collection] will spread his name and work to many." Beat Scene "Taken together, the poems are an illumination in their own right" Choice
