OF FLESH AND BONE
Poems
by
John Frederick Nims
"A highly unusual sort of book for this neo-romantic era. Inspired
by the classical Greek Anthology, these small poems are epigram–
matic or elegiac. . . . They imply a good deal more than they state,
and their order is that of wit and image rather than of humor and
description."-LEwIS TURCO,
Saturday Review
"There is a crisp finality, often an ironic or caustic wit in comment–
ing on the mortal drama. This is verse that should be carved in
simple but elegant lettering on small blocks of marble."-CHAD
WALSH,
Book World
$3.75
POE THE DETECTIVE
The Curious Circumstances Behind
The Mystery of Marie Roget
by
John Walsh
"I had. never quite understood . . . what a superb job Poe did of
diddling a century of readers until I read John Walsh's
Poe the
Detective.
...
This is a short book, highly attractive in format and
illustrations, devoted largely to recapping the killing of Miss Rogers
and the creation of Mlle. Roget.... This book is itself a detective
story.... I find Mr. Walsh's evidence overwhelming and his hypo–
thesis persuasive, and that this book is a noble tribute
to
what it
rightly calls 'a classic performance in the annals of literary
hugger-mugger.' "-ANTHONY BOUCHER,
