"The Seafarer," published in The Yale Review, Vol. 96, No. 2, 2008 April

Among Grover Amen’s writings can be found his self-published book of poetry, F Train Ramble, as well as a manuscript of his novel, The Prophet of Bourbon Street, on which he labored for a number of years, ultimately never publishing the work. In addition, the subseries contains a volume of his collected works, encompassing poems, short fiction, and translations, both published and unpublished, which provides a fairly comprehensive chronological representation of Amen’s primary life work. Also included are copies of two poems published in the magazine Grand Street after Amen’s death. Copies of translations of “Giantess” and “Exotic Perfume” by Baudelaire are also filed in this subseries.
