"This is the E. E. Cummings book of master–
pieces.... It is a book of wisdom that knowl–
edge cannot contradict; of mind that is heart
because it is alive; of wealth that is nothing
but joy."-MARIANNE MooRE,
The Nation
• Foreword by WILLIAM RosE BENET. This
posthumous volume completes the poetic career
of Winifred Welles, who was-to use her own
phrases-"history-haunted" and "ancestry-en–
chanted." She brought to lyrical speech a grave
and graceful music, and
it
is for that music–
completely her own-that she will be read and
cherished.

"Stanley Kunitz now enters the small group or
the very best poets writing in America. . ..
He has every instrument necessary to the poetic
analysis of modern experience."

• "There are exquisite poems in this book or
Lenore Marshall's, and I joyfully recommend
them to all who appreciate fine perceptions in
the world of sense and feeling. They were a
deep delight to me."-MAX EASTMAN.
