Collected Poems and Prose by Elaine Randell: A Review
Collected Poems and Prose, Elaine Randell, Shearsman Books, 2024, ISBN 9781848619562, £22.95 / $35 Elaine Randell adopts a refreshingly novel approach to introducing her monumental Collected Poems and Prose, inasmuch as she almost doesn’t. Almost? Well, she provides a two-sentence kind-of preface: The publication of a collected volume is significant and one which I often speculated might happen after my death, if indeed at all.
