Reece's work reflects both the devastating impact of his parents' death from tuberculosis and his own affliction with the disease, which caused him to distance himself from others: ""A solitary thing am I / Upon the roads of rust and flame / That thin at sunset to the air."" Reece was also preoccupied with his ambivalence toward the farm, which sustained his solitude yet took time away from his writing: ""In the far, dark woods go roving / And find there to match your mood / A kindred spirit moving / Where the wild winds blow in the wood."" Reece's poetry is resonant and contemplative, and Jim Clark has included here works that speak for the true grace of Reece's talent. In addition, Clark's attentive introduction should bring increased interest to this notable southern poet.
