197013059Iowa City: Stone Wall Press 1970. Limited Edition. Softcover. Fine. Quarto unpaginated. A fine copy in the publisher's prown printed wraps very slightly offset on the rear wrap. A pleasing association copy SIGNED and warmly INSCRIBED by Justice on the first leaf to fellow poet Mark Strand and his wife Antonia: "To Mark & Antonia Strand as the dedication was supposed to have read Don Justice May 1970." There is no printed dedication. While there is a lenghty Acknowledgments section Justice simply thanks a number of publications for allowing his poems to be reprinted here. As such given the content of the inscription this may be the closest thing to a "dedication copy" imaginable. Merker the printer writes: "One of the things that was hard for me was that Don didn't really appreciate what I was trying to do. It was hard to get very enthused about doing a book for someone who would not appreciate what you had done no matter how well you did it." Berger 40. Justice's passive-aggressive inscription seems to corroborate Merker's account of the tension between author and publisher. Stone Wall Press unknown

In summing up Justice's career David Orr wrote "In most ways Justice was no different from any number of solid quiet older writers devoted to traditional short poems. But he was different in one important sense: sometimes his poems weren't just good; they were great. They were great in the way that Elizabeth Bishop's poems were great or Thom Gunn's or Philip Larkin's. They were great in the way that tells us what poetry used to be and is and will be."

Ian Robertson has spent a lifetime working in the world of plants and design and relies on his experience as an international garden designer to narrate a fascinating history of gardening. Beginning with Sumerians learning to garden between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers Robertson transports others through the Fertile Crescent to western Europe forward to the British Isles and onward to the New World all while describing the beauty of the gardens of Andrew Jackson Downing Wolfgang Oehme Frederick Law Olmstead and many others. Included in his story of the foliage and blossoms that surrounded kings princes queens and mistresses Robertson shares a timeline glossary and roadside stopovers that make the journey up the garden path even more delightful.

Married with four sons he lives in Virginia where he enjoys his time battling with the plants and plans in his own garden. ; Deborah Justice states: "I listen mostly. I listen to the wind here in the Blue Ridge Mountains; to the rocks and the ancestors and the frustrations and elations that swirl through the seasons. I received training in traditional fine art media and practices but I often reverse engineer the products to meet materials in their most natural state. I use Virginia clay wood from surrounding trees charcoal from the fire salt rain water. it's much like conjuring. The imagery that emerges is often figurative often comforting often non-conforming. I have been practicing art making for 45 years. In my twenties I travelled and exhibited at every women's music festival I could find. In my thirties and forties I continued to produce work but showed only occasionally spending most of my time recovering from profound injuries sustained in a car accident in 1992. In my fifties I gained an artist's residency on a small farm in Central Virginia and I have been producing from this bucolic place ever since" -- Deborah Justice ; FINE/FINE <br/> <br/> iUniverse, New York, 2010 rev. date 06/30/2010 hardcover

He proceeds to describe Bowes's attainments: 'Mr. Foord Bowes is a Master of Arts of Trinity College Cambridge who has lived from the time of his quitting the University in a House belonging to a small property of his own in the immediate Vicinity of the parish. His Father was the Rector of this Living some years since and he himself has performed the Duty as Curate for the last 20 years to the greatest satisfaction of the Parishioners. During this time he has been an active Magistrate of the West Riding of the County of York.' A change in Bowes's circumstances has 'made this Living a very great and important Object to him independely of the Value which he sets upon it from his long and early association with it'.

5604Letter dated 5 April 1846; Castle Taunton. Photograph undated. Letter: four pages folio. Good with a little aging and staining to verso of second leaf of bifolium. In Cruttwell's absence Cockburn has taken it upon himself 'to settle Richardson & <Sumsun>. Taylor has communicated the result of his interview with Hellings the previous evening. 'He informed me that he had seen certain letters written by the Defendants to Mrs. Richardson in which he solicited her to leave her husband and to bring away with her money and goods belonging to the husband'. Taylor recommends that Hellings' offer of £50 be accepted. Cockburn has seen the letters and 'they fully bear out Mr. Taylor's account. I thought the correspondence so discreditable to the Defendant that especially as he must necessarily have called witnesses andn so the Plaintiff's cause wd. have had a reply - I thought it very likely the Jury wd. give connsiderable damages - to say nothing of the disgrace .' Discusses Cruttwell's reluctance to have his 'name mixed up with the defence'. He is certain his opinion would have been shared by Cruttwell had he 'seen these letters'. After consulting 'Mr. Phinn' he has reached a verdict of '50£ including the goods the property in which is to remain in the Defendant'. In a postscript describes how the plaintiff's husband has 'not only denied her to bring away money & furniture but articles of jewellery such as a gold shirt pin of the husbands which he sd. would become him better'.
