The poet’s prefatory note: “This small gathering of verse is irregular in form due to the fact that the several poems were written over a period of eight years. I did not attempt to change them from the forms in which they originally appeared in print in various magazines. If it holds together as a gathering it does so because the leitmotif is a consideration of that multifaceted series of emotions we tag with the single term “love.” I seem to recall that Mark Van Doren once wrote that he considered all of his poems, in one way or another, love poems. This well may be true of most writers of verse.”
