Relic Environments Trilogy: Hail and Farewell

As with the final posting of poems in the Blackwater Quartet book cycle, I wanted to thank readers who have kept faith with the Relic Environments Trilogy series. 

In the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Ukraine, and in Asian countries as well, a small but faithful readership as been maintained, which I hope has brought these poems to the attention of the public more widely than was possible in the original publications (For information about these earlier editions, see the Introduction post.).

Further, the complete MS of the publisher's penultimate draft is made available through the link below. The MS is correct in most respects although without pagination, and although the draft here lists the collection as published in Kings Lynn, Norfolk by Biddles Ltd., in fact it was printed in Poland.

Here, too, are included the excellent, evocative drawings by Meredith T. Smith, set aside in earlier drafts but appearing here as in the published edition.

Again as with Blackwater Quartet, the work here can be sampled for personal or educational purposes, provided that the appropriate citations for author and publication copyright are made, as applicable.
