Galveston 1961 was written in 1961, when Dick and Charlee were in Texas on Sabbatical, while Dick undertook a new translation. Somebody in Dick's close circle laughed, thought it was awful, and it was discarded. It was recently exhumed from old papers by Ben Bagg, whose biography of Dick will someday (I pray) appear. So you're not hearing the reminiscences of a 90 year old, but a poem written when Dick was only 40. The only hurricane is the hurricane that Charlee invested in his heart for 64 years.
