Notes

  • In Twelve Poets the date 1963-1967 is printed after the poems, suggesting that this is the date it was written.
  • Parts 5, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 were not reproduced in the Twelve Poets version.
  • Six of the fifteen poems from this sequence are included (under the title 'The Porter Song Book') in The Rest on the Flight: Selected Poems. Because most parts of the sequence are omitted from this collection, it is not listed as a source for the sequence.
