Until No Word of Farewell, Sam's Selected Poems, appeared at Story Line Press, he was the ultimate stealth poet, his first trade edition being out of print, and his chapbooks hard to find. My first opportunity to read him in depth came the first day I took Wilbur sailing. He showed up at the Bight in Key West with Sam's "Area Code of God," and said, "You and Mr. Gwynn should be reading one another."
