[From back of dust jacket] THE world of James Dickey is founded in great and basic realities-the human ties of family and history, the world of nonhuman nature, the inhuman world of war. He sees these things, on their surfaces, as all men see them. But to that general view he adds the special quality of dream, of a constant play back and forth between what is easily evident and the half-glimpsed revelation that lies masked beneath it. Whether it is a hound running foxes at night, or the harlots of Pompeii fixed in crude paint on the walls of their chambers, or the memory of dead kings brooding over the cliffs of Dover, all that he senses is given a fresh interpretation and a special meaning that are at once deeply private and broadly universal. To read Mr. Dickey's poems is a rewarding experience indeed. James Dickey, poet, advertising man, sportsman, and soldier, is a native of Atlanta, which is still his official home. He is a Veteran of Air Force service in both World War II and the Korean struggle, with nearly a hundred combat missions and three military decorations. Educated at Clemson and at Vanderbilt, he has taught at Rice Institute and at the University of Florida. Following a year in France under a fellowship from the Sewanee Review, he spent nearly six years with advertising agencies in New York and Atlanta. He quit this field in the autumn of 1961 to enter on a year's work abroad under a Guggenheim Fellowship. Mr. Dickey's poems have appeared regularly in many leading magazines. His first book, Into the Stone. was published in 1960.
