All academic libraries should own it. Ransom's poems are lapidary in their economy and stylistic elegance and have stood the test of time in the face of the ever-changing vicissitudes of what Karl Shapiro used to call 'po biz.' It's wonderful to have them back again in their unique and curious glory.\"--William Collins Watterson, Edward Little Professor of the English Language and Literature, Bowdoin College\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This collection of Ransom's poems is a splendid accomplishment, equipped with all the apparatus befitting the standard edition it will become even while showcasing the poems in an uncluttered format.
