Oxford UP edition of the complete Tuckerman couldn't be ignored when I was
at Stanford. I just retrieved my copy of "Jonas Very: Selected Poems"
Rutgers UP, 1966, though perhaps a year ago I didn't get very far when I
tried to read it. Suspect poems by Tuckerman & Very may be in Winters &
Fields' 1968 anthology "Quest for Reality".
