Jim Metcalf

Collected Poems

About this book

This anthology collects four complete volumes of poetry from the beloved New Orleans poet, journalist, and anchorman.

Like Robert Frost before him, Jim Metcalf's poetic commentaries on everyday objects and events offer a keen insight into our world and our own humanity. This volume includes four rare and out-of-print collections of Metcalf's poetry: Follow Another Star, Please to Begin, In Some Quiet Place, and Jim Metcalf's Journal. With a foreword by his longtime friend and colleague Phil Johnson, this anthology serves as a brilliant reminder of the poet and his work.
