You

By Frank Stanford

Poetry. YOU is a collection of poetry by Frank Stanford, published shortly after his startling death in 1979. YOU was published by Lost Roads Publishers, formed in 1976 by C.D. Wright and the author himself. Drawing from his childhood in the Mississippi Delta and the Ozark mountains, Sanford's work is reflecting, dreamlike, and quizzically simple. "When I first encountered Frank Stanford's poetry . . . I felt a fine rush of hope and envy I feel occasionally whenever a poet's language pushes me far beyond my own. Unruly and urgent, the poems stood out from quieter meditations around them as pure dream, possibly nightmare, curiously lit from within"-Leslie Ullman.
