Fourteen love poems by William Faulkner will be published in Austin,
Texas, next week, 63 years afterthe Nobel Prize-winning novelist wrote them,
bound them by hand and gave them to his future wife. "Vision in Spring," which
will be published by the University of Texas Press, is a sequence of poetry
the then-unknown Faulkner wrote in 1921. In revised form, the grouping
apparently was the first book-length work Faulkner ever submitted for
publication, scholars say. "This may be the last important Faulkner work to be
recovered," said critic Arthur F. Kinney. "It is, in any event, an essential
link in his early development. . . ."
