Published as the inaugural volume in the Pegasus Publication Series (Spring 1955). Hall is "considered one of the major American poets of his generation. His poetry explores the longing for a more bucolic past and reflects the poet’s abiding reverence for nature. . . . Often compared favorably with such writers as James Dickey, Robert Bly, and James Wright, Hall uses simple, direct language to evoke surrealistic imagery." (Poetry Foundation) N. B.
