A source that would be useful, but may exist only in the original, paper copy. Academic libraries do old sets of the
Kansas Quarterly.

Not Moses' Collected but Robinson's?
I'm pretty sure he's talking about liberating a copy of Robinson's Collected Poems, not Moses' but I've reached my Google reading limit for this work so I can't scroll back to check. Anyone else able to verify? — Iadmc♫talk 00:43, 17 January 2017 (UTC)reply
The plain meaning is that
Ander Monson wrote of having "liberated" a copy of Moses' Collected Poems, not of Robinson's Collected Poems, he had already found an never-read review copy of Robinson's on his own bookshelf. I copied the text into the article. The problem is that although I first heard of Moses only yesterday, I have certainly read a lot about him and I do not see that a book of his "Collected Poems" was ever published. It may be a case of Monson's wording having misled me. Or, since this is the small college town where Moses spent most of his life teaching, the library could easily have had 2 copies of Moses's collected poems printed and bound by Moses' students or colleagues. I have certainly seen such books, they were not uncommon even in the pre-computer era. Just the sort of thing that Monson would have stolen.

OK. The wording of Monson's book certainly confused me but your explanation is probably correct. Thanks — Iadmc♫talk 22:44, 17 January 2017 (UTC)reply
