Avon's Harvest (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by Edwin Arlington Robinson

Overview

Published in 1921, this book-length poem has been interpreted by some as a ghost story, by others as a tale of revenge, and by others still as the record of a mind reduced to madness.  The narrator is an old friend of Avon's, a successful lawyer plagued by a mysterious sense of guilt.
