The title of Michael Van Walleghen's new collection evokes thematic preoccupations that have shadowed him throughout his long career. Appearing as a phrase in the poems themselves, In the Black Window more generally points to Van Walleghen's enduring interest in the intersection between inner and outer worlds of experience--those liminal moments in other worlds where we become aware of ourselves. We live at once in a strictly personal, material dimension but also in a distinctly spiritual one. Yet, when looking from a lighted kitchen into a night-black window on a winter evening, we might perhaps become suddenly aware not only of our own reflection, but also of our complicity in some deeper mystery altogether.

Before William Carlos Williams was recognized as one of the most important innovators in American poetry, he commissioned a printer to publish 100 copies of Poems (1909), a small collection largely imitating the styles of the Romantics and the Victorians. This volume collects the self-published edition of Poems, Williams's foray into the world of letters, with previously unpublished notes he made after spending nearly a year in Europe rethinking poetry and how to write it. As Poems shows his first tentative steps into poetry, the notes show him as he prepares to make a giant transformation in his art. Shortly after Poems appeared, Williams went through a series of experiences that changed his life--a trip to Europe, a marriage to the sister of the woman he genuinely loved, and the establishment of his medical practice. In Europe he was introduced to a consideration of an unlikely trio: Heinrich Heine, Martin Luther, and Richard Wagner, resulting in an exposure that subsequently influenced his developing style. Williams looked back on Poems as apprentice work, calling them, "bad Keats, nothing else--oh well, bad Whitman too. But I sure loved them. . . . There is not one thing of the slightest value in the whole thin booklet--except the intent," and never republished the collection. Now that Williams's work is widely read and appreciated, his reputation secure, his development as a poet is a matter worth serious study, Poems can be seen as a point of departure, a clear record of where Williams began before his life and ideas about poetry made seismic shifts. Virginia M. Wright-Peterson's succinct introduction puts Poems in the context of his life and times, discusses the reception of the volume, his reconsideration of the poems, and what they reveal about his poetic ambitions.

Times to Remember II with Winds Beyond the Wichita and Other Songs of a Great American Century centers on life in the region from Northwest to North central Texas. Large ranches occupied much of the area a generation or so before the Civil War, and about the time of the war, settlers began to squeeze in between the ranches and Red River to farm the rich soil. Many of these settlers moved into Texas to escape the devastating affect of the war. My forebears on both sides migrated to the area north of Dallas, and soon after the turn of the century, both my father and mothers families moved about a hundred miles west to Fargo, north of Vernon, near Doan's Crossing, the crossing used for herding cattle to Dodge City, Kansas. My father and mother discovered one another there in Fargo and eloped to the dismay of my mother's dad, who had been a widower for several years and felt the need for the continued assistance of his daughters in the home. With limited education, life was difficult for my parents, especially until friends helped Dad get a permanent job on an oil field near Electra, and life was greatly improved for the growing family. Other poems are a result of my later experiences of life in other parts of the country and in other fields of endeavor.
