Story & Luck: Last Poems

Poetry. Limited Edition. Eleven of the last poems the author was working on at the time of his death at age 63. The topics range from the relief felt in New Hampshire after the presidential primaries conclude, to a favorite restaurant's closing and the ensuing emotional memories of special occasions there, and the meaning of the James Wright poem on horses to someone with a terminal disease. The poems are narrative and meditative, with memory infusing meaning. Includes an Introductory Note by his widow, the poet S. Stephanie. Limited to 175 numbered copies letterpress printed from handset Perpetua and Garamond metal types onto 80 lb. Neenah's recycled Environment Felt text (recycled and acid-free), with Wausau Royal Linen for both endpaper and wrap-around cover. Sewn by hand.
