He lived and worked during the latter part of his life at Eagle Pond Farm in Wilmot New Hampshire. "...These poems represent a departure from the body of ...(his) work, a moving away from deftness and control into the blazing color of open, incautious poetry" (from blurb). The verses traverse the private jubilations and disappointments of a love affair. REF: Poetry Foundation, biography. R. McDowell, entry from "Contemporary Poets," 2001. (AMJ)
