A Gradual Twilight: An Appreciation of John Haines [first edition]

The essays and poetry gathered by editor Steven B. Rogers are a testament to Haines contribution to poetry. Most of the material is new and all of it celebrates the immeasurable talents and matchless generosity of this writer, teacher, mentor. In a contribution, Donald Hall writes, “...But Haines differs from others in the care of his language. He writes with a hard instrument on a hard surface.”
