[ A holy presence hovers round here there, ]
changed to:
[ A holy presence hovers round her there, ]
The second printing also changed the title of the poem
[ To Melvin Gardner: Suicide ], on p. 19, to [ To Melvin Gardner: ]
-- in the text, but not in the table of Contents. This may have been done
in deference to the family -- attitudes on suicide were once quite different
than now -- but as it has been quite some time, and the original title
gives more meaning to the poem, it has been retained.
The Title of the poem [ Now! ] did not have the exclamation point
in the table of Contents. It has been added to match the text.
The Title of the poem [ "97": The Fast Mail ] appeared as such
in the text, but as ["97:" The Fast Mail ] in the Contents.
The latter was changed to match the text.
In the original, the book's title does not separate the Contents
from the first poem. It has been placed there as a sort of divider.
In two places ASCII fails to provide enough characters for a correct rendering.
They are the words Provencal (the c with a cedilla) and mailed
(the e with an acute accent, to indicate that the word is to be said
with two syllables). These occur in "Reminiscence" and "The Rattlesnake".
