'Counterpoint' is endorsed for merit by the Pennsylvania Poetry Society. Amelia Reynolds Long 1904-1978 Aka A. R. Long Peter Reynolds Patrick Laing was an American detective fiction and science fiction writer novelist and poet. Her story 'The Thought-Monster' was made into the 1958 film Fiend Without a Face. She co-wrote the 1936 novel Behind the Evidence with William L. Crawford under the combined pseudonym Peter Reynolds. Long's first poem 'Lucifer's Reply' was published in Kaleidograph in the early 1930's. It won first prize in a contest and remains a quite startling piece. After quitting the fields of mysteries and science fiction poetry became Long's predominant interest and she continued to write poems for the rest of her life. A number of her poems were published in various journals and periodicals such as the Nutmegger Encore The Harrisburg Evening News and The Swordsman Review. The Pennsylvania Poetry Society of which she was a member printed two chapbook collections of her previously published poetry work in 1974 Shreds and Patches and 1975 Counterpoint. Her name lives on in the Pennsylvania Poetry Society's Amelia Reynolds Long Memorial Award. It is clear that Long had a gift for creating works of studied beauty with an often poignant human touch. Her two poetry collections remain rare and elusive gems that deserve a wider audience. Contents: Counterpoint Cain Lot's Wife Our Ghosts Draw From the Crowded Future I Dreamed of Long Dead Cities Lucifer's Reply On a Roman Tear Vase Candle The Paxtang Indian Path Paxtang's Fighting Parson Betsy Ross Undertakes to Make the American Flag Soldier in Grease Paint The Gleam the Glory.
