Goodbye to a River, by John Graves. An uncommonly well-told account of the author's sentimental journey by canoe down the Brazos River of western Texas, a watercourse that was to be destroyed by a power dam project.

Summoned by Bells, by John Betjeman. Neither major poetry nor the record of an extraordinary life, this autobiography in verse is nevertheless a singing recollection of what it was to live in an older England, and to be a young poet.
