Selected Poems 1923–1975 by Robert Penn Warren, published by the Franklin Library, is a curated collection spanning five decades of the Pulitzer Prize-winning author’s poetic work. Warren, a towering figure in American literature and the only writer to win Pulitzer Prizes for both fiction (All the King’s Men) and poetry, explores themes of time, memory, morality, and the Southern landscape with lyrical intensity and philosophical depth. This anthology showcases his evolution from the formalist precision of his early verse to the more expansive, reflective style of his later years, including pieces from Promises (1957) and Audubon: A Vision (1969).
The Franklin Library edition presents these poems in an elegant hardcover format, often featuring gilt-edged pages, a bonded leather binding, and intricate decorative designs—making it a distinguished tribute to Warren’s literary legacy.
