Booth, Philip (1925–2007), New Hampshire born poet, graduated from Dartmouth, has taught at Bowdoin, Wellesley, and Syracuse (1961– ). His first book, Letter from a Distant Land (1957), contains a blank‐verse autobiographical address to Thoreau. Later works which show his deeply ingrained feeling for the New England coast and the tough, terse turn of mind of the region, along with a Yankee wit, are published in The Islanders (1961); Weathers and Edges (1966); North by East (1967); Beyond Our Fears (1968); Margins (1970); Available Light (1976); Before Sleep (1980); Relations (1986), poems selected from 1950 through 1985; and Selves (1989).
