The volume brings together multiple sections of poems, including “The Poet at Seventeen,” “Adolescence,” “The Cry,” “South,” and “Irish Music,” followed by elegies and later-grouped works such as “Let Nothing You Dismay” and “Puyé.” Several poems are credited to earlier journals and anthologies, reflecting a curated range of voices, memories, and stylistic explorations.
