"To See, To Take" (1970) was a collection of poems that gathered together three previous books and some uncollected work and won the National Book Award for Poetry. In 1981 she became a fellow in the Academy of American Poets and then, in 1985, one of the twelve Chancellors who serve for life. A recent Collected Poems, "If It Be Not I" (1992) included four volumes that had appeared since her first collected poems. It was published simultaneously with a new collection of poetry, "Firefall".
