Greenberg's life as a writer lasted only a handful of years
(from 1912 to early 1917), but during those years, he wrote
over six hundred poems and other works -- both in notebooks
(fifteen or more) and on loose pages (everything from fine
stationary and graph paper to toilet tissue and blank hospital
exam forms). The selection here consists mostly of works he
wrote during 1915 and 1916.
The Selected Poems link below will take you to Logopoeia's
selection of twenty-one poems that represent some of Greenberg's best
work. The links under the Complete Sets heading are to
groups of poems arranged in the same sets and same order as they appear in
Greenberg's original manuscripts. To view a set online, select its title.
