From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

My adult daughter assigns his 100 Poems from the Chinese for her Classics of East Asian Literature course




And here's a Rexroth poem that is NOT in the complete poems... so, JM is More Than Complete. NB, my copy had a high SN, so it was not signed. This one is up for sale, IIRC on ABEBOOKS.

Lovers who Feed the Goldfish
In the Fontaine de Medicis
Will Always Be True to One Another

Now the Starlit Moonless Spring
Night stands over the Fontaine
De Medicis, and the gold
Fish swim in the cold, starlit
Water. Yesterday, in the
New sunshine, lovers sat by
The water, and talked, and fed
The goldfish, and kissed each other.
I am in California
And evening is coming on.
Now it is morning in Paris
By the Fontaine de Medicis.
And the lovers will come today,
And talk and kiss, and feed the fish,
After they have had their coffee.

Kenneth Rexroth
