Before Willa Cather went on to write the novels that would make her
famous, she was known as a poet, the most popular of her poems
reprinted many times in national magazines and anthologies. Her
first book of poetry, "April Twilights, "was published in 1903, but
Cather significantly revised and expanded it in a 1923 edition
entitled "April Twilights and Other Poems. "This Everyman's Library
edition reproduces for the first time all the poems from both
versions of "April Twilights," along with a number of uncollected
and previously unpublished poems by Cather, as well as an
illuminating selection of her newly released letters.
In such lyrical poems as "The Hawthorn Tree," "Winter at Delphi,"
"Prairie Spring," "Poor Marty," and "Going Home," Cather exhibits
both a finely tuned sensitivity to the beauties of the physical
world and a richly symbolic use of the landscapes of myth. The
themes that were to animate her later masterpieces found their
first expression in these haunting, elegiac ballads and sonnets.
