This collection includes 34 new poems, written over the course of five years. Included is a series of love poems, a kind of epithalamium to his young wife, who was his student at Bennington.

These wood engravings by Ruzicika, who is considered the best carver of coloured wood prints in the United States, are a feature of the exhibit...
