In these previously unpublished poems, Haines exhibits the distinctive visionary and musical clarity and the intelligence that would inform his work over the following fifty years, setting the course for the poetry and prose written at his homestead near Fairbanks, Alaska, for which he is justly famous. "It behooves us to listen to a poet who deepens the silence around us and touches upon an ancient environmental wisdom". -- New York Times Book Review |

| Publisher Description: Poetry. The poems included here were written by the young author and artist, and find their places almost unexpectedly in New York City, Washington, D.C., Provincetown, and the Carmel Valley of California. Guided by the visual impulse, Haines's poems reflect a keen reliance on self-instruction rare in this time of academic ascendancy. |
