Death is often a good career move in poetry. No sooner are the obsequies over and the baked meats eaten than the publisher warms up the presses for a definitive edition of the collected poems, solemnly proofread down to the last querulous comma.

A collected poems may be cruelest to a poet whose genius shone as intermittently as a firefly.
