THE FOURTH DECADE & Other Poems

The author of Return Again, Traveler (Yale Series of Younger Poets) with three long poems, once again modern, colloquial; the first Ballad of Bataan, designed for radio: the title poem, which deals with the decade of the depression and ""the suicide of the sensitive"", a panorama of America. The third poem is the siege of Sevastopol. Angry verse, militant, sometimes savage, forceful of its kind.
