...Rocky Mountain spotted fever [Jan. 24]: TIME is a lifesaver. The day before we received that issue, my wife had a 102° fever, a splitting headache, muscle pains and a rash on palms of hands and soles of feet. We thought it was probably a belated case of flu. Within minutes of reading your article, I was on the phone to our physician, who promptly prescribed a tetracycline drug. Blood tests have since confirmed the diagnosis.

With his consciousness of poetry's epic and mythic nature, it is no wonder that Duncan's efforts to collect so much of living, thought and feeling into the world of one poem should be quite like Ezra Pound's Cantos and William Carlos Williams' Paterson.
