Author’s Note

Of the pieces contained in this collection fifteen are here printed in book form for the first time. The remainder are taken from the four volumes of verse which I have issued during the past ten years, all of which are now out of print.

“A Triumphal Ode” first appeared in The Poetry Chapbook, and “Post-Georgian Poet in Search of a Master,” in Coterie.
