A Drowned Talent
By Vernon Young
The Collected Poems of Weldon Kees
edited by Donald Justice
University of Nebraska Press Revised Edition, 180 pp., $3.95 (paper)

This is one of Kees's previously uncollected poems, not dated but probably written late in his short career, which is to say in the early Fifties.
