 Then, many years after the publication of the poem in "The Mills of the Kavanaughs", the poem re-appeared in a new version when Lowell released his "Selected Poems" in 1976.In this volume, he included a significantly shorter version of the poem in which he pared the epic 38 stanza poem down to just five stanzas.The other poems from the book, all significantly shorter than the title poem, include "Falling Asleep over the Aeneid," "Her Dead Brother," "Mother Marie Therese," "David and Bathsheba in the Public Garden," "The Fat Man in the Mirror" (which is based on a poem by the Austrian poet Franz Werfel), and "Thanksgiving's Over."
