"This book explores what enabled Stafford's poems: his difficult time in conscientious objector camps during World War II, his reverence for the plains of his native Kansas, his daily practice of rising long before dawn to run and write, the principled and fair-minded way he raised his four children....The chief virtue of Stafford's best poems--their natural, plainspoken profundity--is unfortunately in short supply here. Still, there are compelling glimpses...of the life that gave rise to these poems."
Michael Donohue, New York Times Book Review, 02/16/2003
Review:"EARLY MORNING succeeds in its difficult dual project because its author, a writer and teacher of substance in his own right, seems to understand instinctively when to talk about his father and when to talk about himself. His psychological agility and sense of balance allow him to walk an extremely precarious tightrope, humanizing without reducing one of the geniuses of contemporary American poetry."
Thomas R. Smith, Ruminator Review, Winter2002/2003

Book Description: Graywolf Press,U.S., United States, 2003. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 228 x 152 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. A prolific writer, a famous pacifist, a respected teacher, and a literary mentor to many, William Stafford is one of the great American poets of the twentieth century. His first major collection--"Traveling Through the Dark"--won the National Book Award. He published more than sixty-five volumes of poetry and prose and was Poetry Consultant to the Library of Congress-a position now known as the Poet Laureate. Before his death in 1993, he gave his son Kim the greatest gift and challenge: to be his literary executor. In "Early Morning," Kim creates an intimate portrait of a father and son who shared many passions: archery, photography, carpentry, and finally, writing itself. But Kim also confronts the great paradox at the center of William Stafford's life. The public man, the poet who was always communicating with warmth and feeling-even with strangers-was capable of profound, and often painful, silence within the family. By piecing together a collage of his personal and family memories, and sifting through thousands of pages of his father's daily writing and poems, Kim illuminates a fascinating and richly lived life.
