Narrative Poem
with drawings by Ian Gatley

---

This chapbook-length quest narrative recounts the transformation of an Everyman as Gatherer rather than Hunter. During a late fall visit to a walnut orchard where the nuts are ripe, he meets the owner, a woman named Virgina, and in the ritual act of gathering her walnuts, Everyman is enlightened, transformed, and reconciled with the fertility, beauty, and abundance that sustains all life. Written in the tradition of the long poem—from Ovid to Wallace Stevens to Robinson Jeffers—the narrative is enhanced by Ian Gatley's eight elemental pen and ink sketches.

PRE-PUBLICATION REVIEW

"Thanks above all for 'Metamorphosis' [draft title], and for the other things. You found your way into a big, resounding, shimmering vision with that poem!"

— William Stafford, 1 May 1974
