On a list of book titles I never expected to see, "The Complete Poetry of Jack London" would have to rank near the top. London has long been known and appreciated €" revered by many €" as a master of prose, both fiction and nonfiction, short story and novel.


But as we learn from the exhaustive scholarship of Dan Wichlan of Pleasant Hill, the editor of this new and very likely definitive compilation, London not only wrote poetry, he studied and emulated the works of other poets and fancied himself a poet first and a prose writer second.
