Selected Poems

"Ralph was an infinitely wise poet." -Bruce Whiteman Early in the month of May 1995, only days before his death (1909-1995), Ralph Gustafson completed two manuscripts. In 1996 Véhicule Press published Visions Fugitive (edited by Bruce Whiteman), his last poetry collection. The second manuscript was a modest "selected" which we present just as he intended."I must be aging. I hardly know, or want to know what I have selected. One gets ingrained with the dust of dismissive years. So many poems I might have with justice included but for the neglectful attendance. Which all above has nothing to do with the intention here. Justification I dislike as anyone who has his heart on what he has chosen to do-the plumber who makes things work, a kneader of necessary bread, a poet and his musical language and meaning. My intention was that I meant to delight." - R.G., North Hatley, 1995.
