Second and final collection of Faulkner's poetry published during his lifetime comprising forty-four numbered poems of which fourteen had appeared previously wholly or in part. "William Faulkner's new volume of poems is immediately notable for the number of experiments in imitation which it contains. . . . In the first of his forty-four poems Mr. Faulkner treats of a drawing room full of 'All the Dead Pilots' in a strict 'Prufrock' and 'Portrait of a Lady' idiom. In the third poem he yields to the thrill of hallucination and he gets it with Hart Crane's means—a dazzling eruption of metaphors on a blank verse norm. In poem IV he writes a complete E. E. Cummings poem and throughout the volume he works in a few patented tricks even Mr. Cummings's favorite prefix Un-.

Probably written in 1929 three years before publication in this special edition of only three hundred copies. The short story centers on development of the title character whose mother raises her as a virtual prisoner. "Though it is crude in its handling of sexual imagery and suffers from a number of other technical problems that betray it as an early story it does create two vivid characters. And of more importance it reveals the author grappling with a theme that will be developed fully in some of his greatest stories and novels: the warping destructive impact upon the psyche of the repression of those drives that connect the human being to the world of nature."
