I had a chance to hear Mr. Caples read that poem at Moe's a few months ago and he happened to mention to me that he was inspired by symbolist poet Ernest Downson's assertion that "v" was the most poetic letter of the alphabet and that his ideal line of poetry was Poe's "The viol, the violet, and the vine."<br /><br />Those Lew Gallery editions are indeed typed (then photocopied) by Sunnylyn Thibodeaux & Micah Ballard, who usually work under the Auguste Press banner.<br /><br />O.A.
