Winterward
Portland, Oregon: Tavern Books, 2013.
First Edition.
First paperback edition.
From the publisher: “Winterward is the title of the 1954 creative dissertation that William Stafford wrote for his PhD in English at the University of Iowa. This collection contains poems that were eventually published in West of Your City, Traveling through the Dark, and The Rescued Year. In addition to shining a light on Stafford’s early poetic gifts, Winterward is a blueprint for the themes, tones, and concerns that were central to Stafford’s life as writer, thinker, and citizen. This collection is as much an aesthetic bookmark of a moment as it is a looking glass into a narrative that includes Stafford as a National Book Award Winner, Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress, and ultimately as one of the major poets of his generation.”
