We published the proof sheet for these photographs several years ago, but only found the negatives this weekend. Thanks to modern technology I was able to scan and print several of them. There's not quite as much detail as I would like; some of those negatives were pretty thin, and the scanning process (at least on my set-up) is not as good as chemical printing. But these shots that I took when I was fifteen did capture pretty well, I think, my father's way of working in the attic office of our house in Leesburg while he was the poetry consultant / poet laureate of the United States. I've also posted these pictures today on the Facebook page of the James Dickey Newsletter, where I asked the question: "What's that poem?"
