NEW YORK CHARLES SCRIBNERS SONS 1949 TO CAROLINE GORDON NOTE I considered arranging these poems in the order of their writing but gave it up be cause I couldnt imagine a reader who would be interested in it. Some of the earliest pieces will be found next to the latest only a few dates are given. I am not sure I could explain why I think certain poems go with others, in the groups into which the book is divided at any rate a book of verse in sections is easier to take hold of than an unbroken string of poems. Somewhat more than half of this book appeared as Selected Poems in 1937 it contains all of The Winter Sea 1944, besides a few poems not collected before. A. T.
