Poetic reflections on the beauty of America, childhood and patriotism, family, and government by the Senior Senator from Maine. In his Foreword to this volume, Rod MacLeish contends that the multiplicity of the author's life and experiences are the source of his poetry-succeeding as a Republican member of Congress, "scholar, superb athlete, jazz buff, occasional contributor of political articles to newspapers, reader and speculator on the nature of things." Originally published in 1978 by Simon and Schuster.
