Ann Stanford — Collected Poems
Ann Stanford’s poetry is grounded in Southern California but never confined by it. From the formal precision of her Yvor Winters years to the many-voiced histories of Magellan and The Countess of Forlì, she wrote about landscape, family, political violence, myth, women’s lives, and the fragile human designs imposed on nature. A distinguished CSUN teacher, translator of The Bhagavad Gita, and editor of The Women Poets in English, Stanford made lyric, scholarship, and dramatic voice parts of one sustained project. This edition resets the complete poetry books preserved in the project archive and includes source-page presentations of her two typographically complex long works.
