Thank you to Kyle Waugh, literary executor of Kenneth Irby’s
estate, for making possible this broadside of an unpublished 1965 poem “Oh
Grand Chord,” printed by Michael Klausman and Patrick Tillery of Wry Press in Longmont,
Colorado. Among my favorite lines:
“our
eyes in the air north hold ducks”
Appreciation also to the Kenneth Irby family. Contact wrypress@gmail.com
for further information.
