Robert S Lowrance, Jr. had previously published a fine volume. The author's unique background (both he and his wife are fine musicians) should prepare us for the music which is in this collection of poems.There are pleasing surprises at the end of many of the poems, building up to a nice climax with the final explanation or challenge and the concluding choice of words.Some of the poems are particularly touching reminiscences of childhood.Readers of the present volume will be greeted by an even more polished and varied group of poems which goes with the further developememt of this poet."--John Ransonm Lewis ; Contents: A bestiary -- A cloudy day -- Alenda lux ubi orta libertas -- A new birth -- A perturbation -- Arachne -- Art catalogue -- Autobiography -- Cat nap -- Chauvinism-- Did you ever -- Dust-devils -- Echoes -- Fish bait -- Flight 007 -- Hospital -- How groes my love -- It takes us all -- Japanese cherry -- Leaves -- Love's hold -- Mirages for sail -- My old home -- Nostalgia -- One day -- Ontogeny recapitulated -- Peggy Mitchell and Boys' High Class of 1924 -- Phoenix -- Please pass the baby -- Polyphemus -- Remembered -- Resurgens -- Ships and seas -- Superstitions -- The ceramic cherry-picker lamp -- The digs -- The flight of the arrow -- The landing -- The least I could do -- The making of a champion -- The quest of a writer -- The relentless tide -- The search -- The seasons -- The Weavers of Weaverville -- Times and tides -- To a very special friend -- To the sixth graders of Montgomery Elementary -- Travels -- Treblinka revisited -- Tricolor -- What did she say -- What is a poet -- Where does love end -- Whisperings of the rain forest ; SIGNED presentation by author on endpaper ; paper defect in front endpaper ; FINE/FINE.
