Poetry. Edited by David Clippinger, BURSTS OF LIGHT includes all of William Bronk's poetry written after LIFE SUPPORTS (1981) and approved by the author for book publication before his death in 1999. To these are added the sheaf of poems discovered later and published as Metaphor of Trees and Last Poems.
