Tales, poems, and other writings

Herman Melville, John Bryant (Editor, Writer of introduction, Writer of added commentary)
The first edition of Melville's tales and poems in fifty years and the only one currently in print, this edition presents Melville's full array of short works as they appeared in magazines, private printings and manuscript, along with a generous sampling of his most significant poetry (an unjustly neglected facet of his ouvre).
