the rose / Cameron, Charles., 2013
Composed on an IBM Selectric typewriter that was originally typed 1966 and now retyped 2013. Cameron comments that this poem was originally typed as a gift for Elizabeth Taylor, when she turned out in support of campaign for Edmund Blunden as Professor of Poetry at Oxford in 1966. I was a young Oxford poet favored by the young don Francis Warner at the time, he was, if I recall, the one leading the campaign for Blunden, and introduced me to Elizabeth Taylor at a pub. Pleasant, if hazy, memories. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
