Monolithos was Gilbert's second poetry collection, published 20 years after his first, Views of Jeopardy, which was published as the winner of the annual Yale Younger Poets prize and subsequently nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Jack Gilbert (1925-2012), though never a household name, is well respected as a poet's poet, thrice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. His early promise was followed by years of travel (funded by a Guggenheim fellowship), solitude, and poverty, punctuated only by occasional publications, the majority heralded with further prizes. He shunned publicity however, living in what he termed "a self-imposed isolation", dedicating himself to writing and romance. Due to this solitude inscribed copies of his work are notably uncommon. After his death in 2012 he was again nominated for the Pulitzer, with his recently published Collected Poems. Linda Gregg, one of his lovers and a fellow poet, characterised Gilbert thus: "All Jack ever wanted to know was that he was awake - that the trees in bloom were almond trees - and to walk down the road to get breakfast. He never cared if he was poor or had to sleep on a park bench". Octavo. Original black cloth, titles in silver to spine and black to front board, top edge blue. With dust jacket. Slightest rubbing to board edges, a fine copy in the like jacket, unclipped.
