  My Vocabulary Did This to Me
  The Collected Poetry of Jack Spicer
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Edited by Peter Gizzi and Kevin Killian
  WESLEYAN; 496 pages; $35

  It's a rare poet who shuns publication; even rarer if that poet has undeniable talent. This long-overdue volume is ample evidence that Jack Spicer had much more to say than he professed and that his reluctant shadow lingers over modern American poetry, if often darkly. A misfit before that became "cool," his biting sentimentality served as a model for many who followed him, whether they know it or not.
