In his latest collection he includes 24 short poems, three long ones...
ANNE SULLIVAN MACY: The Story Behind Helen Keller-Nella Braddy-Doubleday, Doran ($3). Helen Keller, the blind deaf-mute who has become a highly educated and intelligent woman, is one of the most famed figures in the world today, but few have ever heard of the miracle-worker who raised Helen Keller from the worse-than-dead. Her name is Anne Sullivan Macy; in this book Authoress Braddy tells her little-known story. Mrs. Macy has lived continuously with Helen Keller for 45 years except for two occasions. Fourteen years older than her lifelong pupil, she was well fitted...
