David Ray's new book of poetry, Gathering Firewood, underlined will be published

as Volume 75 in the Wesleyan Poetry Program on October 10, 1974.

"He writes poems that are like a man with an injured child in his arms walking from

street to street in search of a doctor or a hospital. He finds none and keeps walking doggedly, and one may tell him, David, such a cure you are looking for for your injured faith in the world is in the truth of your poems. They will survive. They will survive -".
