Locust songs (to Allan Seager), circa 1968.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/60494807

A signed typescript of three poems collectively called "Locust songs (to Allan Seager)" with the author's handwritten corrections. The three poems are The emblem, Good husbandry, and Shiloh Church, 1862: twenty-three thousand. This typescript was probably produced in 1968 as Locust songs was first published in 1968 in Hill's collection of poems in King Log. Locust songs was probably written in memory of Allan Seager, who died in 1968. The third poem in Locust songs is about the U.S. Civil War Battle of Shiloh, Tennessee, April 6-7, 1862.
