Poetry as biographical evidence
Roots and branches of the family tree
A risqué liaison with the fabulous baroness
Adventures in the skin trade
Experimental breakthroughs
The "strange phosphorus" of American history
Revisiting the seductions of Europe
Confronting the Great Depression
New directions in a tumultuous decade
Poetry, the mistress, and medicine, the wife
The poet in a time of war
The magnificent torso: Paterson
