The last \"collected poems\" appeared in 1947 and \"selected poems\" in the 1970s, and only two books dealing exclusively with Melville's poetry have appeared, both published in the 1970s. In this revised edition of his \u003ci\u003ePoems of Herman Melville\u003c\/i\u003e, Douglas Robillard updates the scholarship on the poetry through his introduction and notes and makes a case for revised estimate of the importance of Melville as a poet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Poems of Herman Melville\u003c\/i\u003e contains entire texts of \"Battle-Pieces\" (1866), \"John Marr and Other Sailors\" (1888), and \"Timoleon\" (1891).
