Jim Metcalf, like Robert Frost before him, was a poet whose commentaries on everyday objects and events offer a keen insight into man, nature, and ourselves. During his life, Metcalf was the fourth best-selling poet in the United States, with 52,000 copies of his books sold in only three years. A new generation of readers can now hear what thousands of New Orleanians heard on his television broadcasts of the 1970s.
