A Beginning: Poems

by William Burford

Overview

William Burford's poems are marked by deep vision, austere and passionate feeling, exactitude of diction, and gravity of presence.

He writes of his own work: "Poetry, at least as i have leaned to want to write it, is a way of giving reality and even courage to the life which a man senses within himself and which he knows, by living among other men, is their chief possession also. The poetry which seems to me the most admirable is characterized by a certain firm delicacy, a style which at once both moves and instructs the sense of life in us."
