The $2.50 is not clipp The elusive sixth sense, the strange other quality that transforms an ordinary man into the soul of a poet is one that defies definition. For to record impressions of life is no task; but to preserve for posterity a bit of life as seen through one man's eyes requires truly the hand of the artist. Edw. E. Bill presents his poems as one man's interpretation of life; to read them is to think, to relax, to enjoy living. So for your idle hours, for those moments when only good reading will satisfy, this is a book to have and to hold.
