Title: The graves of Scotland Parish
First published: 1967
Description: Donald Junkins is one of the quietly great American poets of the last fifty years.  A student of Robert Lowell, Don writes poetry that is haunting and evocative.  Carefully crafted images and lines evoke great emotion and reveal a poet who understands his art.  The graves of Scotland Parish is an early collection and links us to examinations of old bones that are both intensly personal and universal. (J. Lamb)
