Of Indigo and Saffron New and Selected Poems

McClure has not departed from his center-justified, breath-based lines in a career that has spanned more than half a century. One of the readers at Allen Ginsberg's famed 1955 reading of Howl at San Francisco's Six Gallery, McClure, unlike Ginsberg, remains closely associated with that city, and with the varieties of 20th-century Zen and other Eastern religious practice that have emerged from it.--Publishers Weekly.
