Written in Cambridge and published out of Georgetown, Kentucky, the poems frequently evoke the spirit of down-home Americana. In “Window-Shopping...

"No other great power has the confidence and stability to expose and face its own blunders," he wrote last year in a new introduction to his 1946 autobiography, Not So Wild a Dream.
