In a preface to this edition, Morris Cox gives an excellent appraisal of the various stages his poetry has gone through. This collection is concerned wit the calm control of physical speed. "To slow down consciously one's reading thinking, almost to a standstill, may seem contrary to what a considerable number of people have been trained to expect, but in many of the poems in thi book one is invited to try. Suddenly the space surrounding the words could appear enormously important." The illustrations are of a hand drawing appropriate introductions to various groupings of poems. Fine. 38370.
