Excerpt from The Wandering Angel: And Other Poems There are no portions of a book on which more ingenuity is exercised than the preface, and it is amusing to mark the pains which, in most instances, authors take to disguise the real motives which have induced them to appear before the public. One would think, from a perusal of the generality of prefaces, that literary men were a race of the most humble and disinterested individuals in existence, and that the expectation of a pecuniary remuneration was the very last idea that instigated them to submit their productions to the world. The author of the present volume candidly admits that he is influenced by mixed motives, and that the hope of profit, as well as a desire for reputation, has actuated him in bringing forth this work. He cannot see why the productions of the mind should not be as legitimately entitled to emolument as those which are simply the result of physical exertions. The author is gratified that a taste for literature is rapidly extending in his native town, and the many fruits of that taste which have of late appeared, are in themselves sufficient to prove that the public of Manchester are not backwards in affording the requisite encouragement to the producers. Where Commerce and Science flourish, it will always be found that the more graceful Arts will, in a corresponding degree, be cultivated. The country may furnish scenes of inspiration to the poet, but it is to the town that he must look for support, and, therefore, the author sees nothing inconsistent in a large seat of manufactures having fostered 60 many literary aspirants. The author is quite willing to take his place among the rest, and has no doubt that he shall receive his due share of consideration. Towards his fellow-labourers he bears no feelings, except those of friendly regard, and a desire that their success may equal their merits.

Excerpt from The Wandering Angel: And Other Poems He can truly say, in the words of Sir Philip Sydney, I do not envy Aristotle's wit, Nor do aspire to Caesar's bleeding fame; Nor ought do care though some above me sit. The author's first volume was published between three and four years ago, the pieces contained in it being written at different intervals, and with no intention to a collected publication. The success which the work met with was somewhat beyond his anticipations, and he cannot resist the present Opportunity of gratefully acknowledging the kind ness which it received from the press. A voice from the town, published two years ago, has also experienced the same gratifying reception. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The death of a mother alters forever a family’s story of itself. Indeed, it taxes the ability of a family to tell that story at all. The Accounts narrates the struggle to speak with any clear understanding in the wake of that loss. The title poem attempts three explanations of the departure of a life from the earth—a physical account, a psychological account, and a spiritual account. It is embedded in a long narrative sequence that tries to state plainly the facts of the last days of the mother’s life, in a room that formerly housed a television, next to a California backyard. The visual focus of that sequence, a robin’s nest, poised above the family home, sings in a kind of lament, giving its own version of ways we can see the transformation of the dying into the dead. In other poems, called “Arguments,” two voices exchange uncertain truths about subjects as high as heaven and as low as crime. Grief is a problem that cannot be solved by thinking, but that doesn’t stop the mind, which relentlessly carries on, trying in vain to settle its accounts. The death of a well-loved person creates a debt that can never be repaid. It reminds the living of our own psychological debts to each other, and to the dead. In this sense, the death of this particular mother and the transformation of this particular family are evocative of a greater struggle against any changing reality, and the loss of all beautiful and passing forms of order.
