RESIDUE OF SONG.
A truly beautiful and varied piece of work by the

the poignant and the tragic ; but also given to hilarity, high-spirits and
comic delight."

John Hollander
TALES TOLD OF THE FATHERS.
" A galaxy of voices from Callimachus
to Cohen on the Telephone s<..Irges into a single voice that speaks with
a new, witty authority : anarchically erudite, mocking, hopeful, melan–
choly, funny , romantic. This is Hollander's profoundest and richest
work so far."-John Ashbery.

SELECTED POEMS.
" This selection of nearly 100 poems, including 20
new ones, is a worthy successor to Watson's three previous collections.
Its ten sections offer a considerable range of themes, voioes, tones and
forms . .. . His work carries authority and deserves the additional recog–
nition which a collection like this should
bring ."-Library
