News & Selected Poems

New and Selected Poems: 1957 - 2011 is culled from Robert SwardÆs newest and best works, including both previously unpublished poems and selections from his 20+ books of poetry. It is the definitive Sward collection, exhibiting throughout his signature style: outwardly zany and fanciful, but inwardly serious, troubled, and questioning. They cover the territory Sward has tread so well-love, divorce, multiple marriage, aging, loss, and the challenge of bringing up children in a highly unstable world-in his lifelong search for the liberating illumination of IT.
