Editor’s notes:
This book did not include page numbering; therefore, pages numbers for the poems are given as being counted from the title page, inclusive. It should be noted that there were blank pages both before and after those pages which had printed on them just the section headings (Bush impressions, Fantasies, Brogan’s Lane, and Nomad Chant).
