Publisher Marketing: Kathleen Tankersley Young is one of the great ghosts of modernist poetry, a poet and writer thoroughly engrossed in the most exciting stylistic currents of the time, influential in shaping publications and poets alike, and yet almost entirely forgotten after her tragic death in 1933, just shy of her thirtieth birthday. This volume offers the first comprehensive volume of her poetry and short fiction, including all three of the books she published during her lifetime-Ten Poems, The Dark Land, and The Pepper Trees-along with the vast majority of her published works, recovered from magazines large and small, and a selection of nearly forty previously unpublished works. Edited by Erik La Prade and Joshua Rothes, this volume seeks to reintroduce Young as an indispensable poet of mid-period American modernism.
