Earth Walk: New and Selected Poems. (Association Copy, inscribed to poet May Swenson)
—
Association copy, warmly inscribed by Meredith to fellow poet May Swenson (1913–1989): “For May, one of my models. (though I have to tell her so, the benign effect mostly hidden) one of my dear friends, easier to demonstrate—love, Bill. Bread Loaf, August 1976.”
Earth Walk was expanded and republished as Partial Accounts: New and Selected Poems (1987) and earned Meredith the Pulitzer Prize the following year.
A compelling inscription linking two major American poets, composed during their time together at the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference.
