There is an ocean inside Sward and he is constantly attempting to plumb its depths in search of intellectual, physical and spiritual meaning. All That I Have Not Made, Poems 1957-2020, is the definitive Sward collection, exhibiting throughout his signature style: outwardly zany and fanciful, but inwardly serious, troubled and questioning.

All That I Have Not Made, by Guggenheim Award winner, Robert Sward, contains both new poems and a generous gathering from his 25 earlier collections, among them Uncle Dog & Other Poems; Kissing The Dancer; Heavenly Sex; Four Incarnations, and New & Selected Poems. Robert Sward's life work has been and continues to be poetry. 50 years after his first publication, this is harvest time. From the thousand or so poems he has written since he began writing in the U.S. Navy while in the Combat Zone during the Korean War, these are the ones he has chosen to preserve.
