“When my editor at Hutchinson asked me to prepare a Collected Poems I hesitated. To agree to do so seemed to signify an irrevocable ending to my poetry-making, a final dirge-like act. Yet rare is the author who can resist an opportunity to see his cherished works in print. So the book appeared in 2003.
But the whistle had been blown only faintly and the Muse did not go home. In 2005, after I survived a major car crash, I found my need to write poems, in the extra-time allowed me, became even more assertive. Here are the most recent of them. They please me, and I hope you and you.”
