144 pages, frontispiece, pictorial wrappers, very good. From the publisher: Afterglow by Dorothy O. White is a collection of the best works of her long lifetime - exquisite poetry, absorbing fiction and reminiscent essays. In the roseate light of ninety years' experience, Dorothy White still continues to write imaginatively, her keen mind filled with lively thoughts. Mrs. White was born in Boston, and graduated in 1918 from Wellesley College Phi Beta Kappa, with Honors in English. She was married to Robert C. White, who was an English professor at Castleton State College until his death in 1969. They were the parents of four children - two of them PhD professors - with ten grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren at latest count. After their youngest child was in school, she became a teacher and her varied teaching experiences occurred from 1947 to 1964. Ranging from a one-room school in West Newbury through Castleton Junior High, Rutland Junior High, Newbury High School and Fair Haven High School to Green Mountain College, they formed a rich background for revealing articles. Afterglow embraces four of Dorothy O. White's previously published volumes. Added her a number of factual stories and fiction pieces, mostly of recent vintage, which have appeared in magazines and newspapers and testify to her versatility as a poet and writer. Tom Smith, teacher of English at Castleton State College, and a prize-winning fellow poet and friend, has written the preface to Afterglow.
