Notes

  • Dedication: Again, to Nicholas Birns, New School University, New York, New American Friend.
  • Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth. Ecclesiastes 11-9 (Back cover)
  • These poems seem to me to have a new transparency and ease, and nobility and quality of immediate memorability that really is the sort of achievement that only comes to a poet, if it comes at all, when he has freed himself of everything that needs now to be said. - David Malouf (back cover).
  • Chapbook.
