we sat under an old tree,
drank tea toasts to the powdery mountain…

Carcanet Press I inherited this copy of God Breaketh Not All Men's Hearts Alike from my mentor Bohdan Boychuk. It has this insert with 'correct updated version' of 'Pax Poetica' on p. 338. I wonder if Boychuk had gotten the copy from Kunitz, with whom he collaborated.
