THE POEM

Here, beginning with 20 new poems, is the rich harvest of a poet’s 50 gears of creation.

“A reassurance as to what poetry can he in these times. There is no limiting oddity of style or attack, hut a whole nature eloquently ojten to the sweetness and anguish of things” —Richard Wilbur

“In these later poems he again tops the crowd—he surpasses himself, the old iron brought to a white heat of simplicity.” -Robert Loudl

“A poet of the highest distinction.”

—Robert Penn Warren

WRONG NUMBER

(acknowledgments to Ximenes of the Observer)

Each clue’s answer is to be entered in the grid at a number corresponding to a different clue with an answer of the same length. The appropriate number’s clue contains a definition of the answer to be entered at that location. Procedure recommended is to solve a clue and then find a definition of this answer in one of the five other clues to words of the same length; this shows where the answer belongs.

Answers include two proper nouns. Punctuation may be used deceptively.
