Poems Of Richard Wilbur

About this book

This collection includes Advice to a Prophet and Other Poems, Things of This World, Ceremony and Other Poems, and The Beautiful Changes and Other Poems. 

"One of the best poets of his generation, Richard Wilbur has imagined excellence, and has created it." —Richard Eberhart, New York Times Book Review


Inside this volume, four of his greatest works showcase a career dedicated to formal beauty and lucid insight.


  • Formal Mastery: Experience Wilbur’s celebrated command of meter and rhyme, where traditional forms feel both timeless and refreshingly new.
  • The Luminous Ordinary: Find beauty in the tangible world, from a toad in a garden to laundry on a line, as Wilbur transforms everyday moments into occasions for wonder.
  • Four Books in One: This generous single volume includes the complete texts of The Beautiful Changes, Ceremony, Things of This World, and Advice to a Prophet.
  • An American Master: Read the essential work of a National Book Award winner and esteemed translator, celebrated for his intellectual depth and enduring grace.
