First & only ed., ltd to 990 copies. Brief biog. sketch of this VA poet tipped in. First publ. of many poems. Of "Bonny Lorraine" Renier in Springs of Virginia tells us that the lady in question (of course, no gentleman would ever use an actual name) had a bad habit of showing ardent love letters received to others. Gordon's ending kisses off classically, "I can look on you now w/no more pain...Thank God that I lost you, Bonny Lorraine". V.g., which is more than we can say for what's left of "Lorraine's" reputation. Literature.
