Critics call Stephen Crane, who is best known for his Civil War novel, The Red Badge of Courage, the first modern American writer. Crane was only twenty-eight when he died, but his work had a profound influence on American letters. He helped to kill sentimentality in American writing, giving this country’s fiction renewed strength and dignity as an art form. Crane is considered the American counterpart of such European Nationalists as Zola, Tolstoy, and Flaubert

Stephen Crane (November 1, 1871 – June 5, 1900) was an American poet, novelist, and short story writer. Prolific throughout his short life, he wrote notable works in the Realist tradition as well as early examples of American Naturalism and Impressionism. He is recognized by modern critics as one of the most innovative writers of his generation.

Stephen Crane authored novels, short stories, and poetry, but is best known for his realistic war fiction. Crane was a correspondent in the Greek-Turkish War and the Spanish American War, penning numerous articles, war reports and sketches. His most famous work, The Red Badge of Courage (1896), portrays the initial cowardice and later courage of a Union soldier in the Civil War. In addition to six novels, Crane wrote over a hundred short stories including "The Blue Hotel," "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky," and "The Open Boat.

Though he is best known for The Red Badge of Courage, Stephen Crane was also a remarkable poet whose poetry is full of irony and paradox, yet is often gentle and compassionate. This is the definitive edition of his poetry, including all 135 poems, published and unpublished during his lifetime, as well as a substantial introduction by Joseph Katz.

Bladebringer

this collection of crane's complete poetry is divided into four sections. the two most important sections are the two volumes of poetry crane published, which were -the black riders and other lines- and -war is kind-. the third section consists of "uncollected poems", i.e. poems that were published in magazines but did not appear in the two collections, and posthumously published poems.
as the other reviewers have stated, crane was not and is not known for his poetry, but it is quite magnificent. in general his poetry is surprisingly modern. they tend to be more prose-oriented although he often uses literal or loosely repeated sections (i.e. refrains) to good effect. his poetry also tends to be didactic (often taking the form of a parable with such "characters" as mountains, angels, and philosophers), morbid, and direct. which is certainly not to say that they aren't also emotional, masterful, and engaging.
-the black riders- as a whole is more straightforward than the poems in -war is kind-. in general the poems in -black riders- center around the metaphysical, with themes such as religion, ethics, and philosphy appearing often. although -war is kind- contains many of the same themes, it also includes more concrete themes, such as war, the many facets of a man's relationship with a woman, and specific occurrences and objects such as the printing of newspapers. the uncollected and posthumous poetry is varied, but just as excellent if not better than the poems in the two collections.
this edition is quite attractive, a nice size with a mostly competent introductory essay that sheds light on the background of the publishing of crane's two collections. the print itself is generally clean and attractive, although occasionally there are some notable flaws in the printing where a line is too dark or too light. all in all, though, this collection is highly recommended as it is complete and crane's poetry is well worth reading and timelessly relevant.

Silver Globol

I didn't know much about Crane's poetry or prose poems at all before reading this book. I love it. Most of these poems are haunting and clever. Be warned. Crane's diction is a bit elevated for modern tastes.

Adrietius

Crane is underrated as a poet.

Anarus

I rate it five stars because its a very warped poet how is very under rated... Some poems are dark and others are romantic

Lilegha

Black riders came from the sea.

There was clang and clang of spear and shield,

And clash and clash of hoof and heel,

Wild shouts and the wave of hair

In the rush upon the wind:

Thus the ride of sin.

The above is the title poem of Crane's first collection, and one of his most well- known poems.

The poems of Crane are written in a simple clear language. But their meaning is often enhanced by some symbolic connection, and remains mysterious and open to suggestive interpretation.

They do not have in my feeling a strong internal rhythmic connection, and lack the memorable quality of the poems of other nineteenth century American poets, Whitman, Dickenson, Poe.

I feel somehow that Crane is more a poet of the eye than of the ear. He covers a wide range of subjects providing both an echo of his own inner life and a reflection on the world he sees.

My sense is that the Poetry is very much secondary to the prose, primarily ' The Red Badge of Courage'.

Like Keats he died very young leaving open the question of whether he might have developed in his poetic work , a dimension he does not have now.

Goldendragon

Although Stephen Crane has earned his place in the American literary canon largely on the basis of his novel "The Red Badge of Courage" and his psychologically compelling short fiction, he was also a master of the art of poetry. "The Complete Poems" is a superb tribute to that poetic genius. In addition to collecting all 135 of Crane's known surviving poems, editor Joseph Katz has written a substantial introduction which places Crane's poetic achievement in context.
Most of Crane's poems are written in a free verse using simple, yet quietly powerful language. His words are full of irony and paradox; his vision is sometimes sarcastic and often dark, yet frequently surprises with gentleness and compassion. Reading Crane, I get the sense of meeting an ancient sage on a barren, wind-swept plain. His poems often have an oddly scriptural flavor to them; these are verses that invite return and reflection.
Stephen Crane writes, "I have a thousand tongues / And nine and ninety-nine lie." Nonetheless, in "The Complete Poems of Stephen Crane" the attentive reader will discover a reservoir of disturbing truth.

Nern

I'm not that big of a fan of poetry, but Stephen Crane is that rare exception. I loved almost every poem in this book, especially the poem on page 42("And you love me?") and the one called "Intrigue". That one is just beautiful.
According to the preface, written by Joseph Katz, this book "contains every poem known to have been written by Crane". These poems were originally published in a book called "The Poems of Stephen Crane: A Critical Edition(1971)".

I'd recommend these both to fans of Crane's prose work, and those just starting to get into poetry. This is as good beginning as you can choose(and in the world of poetry there's quite a lot to choose from). :)
