Elegy In a Country Churchyard by George Starbuck
A review from In Dissent by Cooper Renner.

  Elegy In a Country Churchyard by George Starbuck Pym-Randall, 1975 &#160&#160&#160  A Review by A s far as I can tell (and I am as likely to be wrong here as about anything else I write), George Starbuck was pretty much ignored even before he died a few years ago

Starbuck's 'Elegy in a Country Churchyard' is a charming, if sometimes too self-congratulatory, offering of American concrete verse      Meanwhile Auden's selections, which immediately precede Fitts', form in large part the current status quo of 'older poets' and accepted (if not actual) 'greats.' Starbuck's 'Elegy in a Country Churchyard, ' published more than a decade after he won the Yale competition, is a charming, if sometimes too self-congratulatory, offering of American concrete verse (and is one of only two of Starbuck's books officially in print, though I fail to see that many copies of a 226-copy edition printed in 1975 can remain)

The elegy in 'concrete' form is printed on three sheets which are meant to be taped together, end to end, to form a panel about 65' long forming the horizon line of the churchyard
