The Seasons of Jesse Stuart, edited by Wanda and Terry Hicks,
brought together 145 poems, arranged
into seven sections. Each section contained a brief
introduction about the
following material, the book
becoming a poetic chronology
of Stuart’s life. The over-sized volume included facsimiles of
each of the poems written by Stuart in his bold,
distinctive handwriting. A special leather-bound and
encased limited edition of 145 copies was issued, with each volume
containing one of the 145 poems, which
Stuart wrote out for the book
in his own longhand that he once referred to as
“crow’s tracks in snow” (Richardson,
Jesse, p. 435).
The Jesse Stuart Collection includes a
copy of the standard trade edition, as
well as a copy number 4 of the special
limited edition of 145 volumes. The
latter book includes Stuart’s
handwritten copy of “April Night,” the
poem on page 6 of the volume.
