"Wilbur, Carruth, Clampitt, Ammons, Adair, Berry, Dugan, Heany, Hinds, Kumin, Levine, Gilbert, Walcott, Kooser--you may hear echoes of these and other contemporary poets whose work has delighted me. But the echoes have been strained through an essentially prosaic tempera- ment. These admired poets fly high singing their hearts out, but I have usually walked, sometimes with a stone in my shoe, speaking plainly and rarely breaking into song. "You may wonder why I bother to publish poems I seem so diffident about. Well, from time to time I have felt great affection for all these poems, and readers whose judgment I trust have encouraged me to hope that others may enjoy them, too. Please come in and see if you do. "Of the poems I've chosen to present here, only a few have been previously published, and those few appeared in Quaker newsletters."
