Synopsis

The Green Bookcase, 2nd edition, chronicles and celebrates eminent American poet William Heyen’s more than 50 years of publication in “little mags” from around the world. “Maybe the existence of my poem, & of the book, & of the writing we all do, is evidence still not of total resignation but of action & commitment, of love,” says Heyen in his new afterword. Heyen’s literary-life essay is lavishly illustrated with 50 photographs by poet-photographer Karla Linn Merrifield; the book also includes a foreword by Grant Holcomb, director emeritus, Memorial Art Gallery/University of Rochester.
