Mimeographed little magazine issued in Chicago by Bruce & Stan Lee Kapustka. Contains this enthusiastic anonymously-written (by one or both of the Kapustkans?) review of Wood's poetry volume. Wood is compared with Shelley, Ovid, Homer & Shakespeare. It is said that a "million years hence (or a billion), however and whatever we be, if naught else remains, the Eagle Sonnets will... An eagle soaring in the Einsteinian ether, towering over time, sweeping over space, with astronomic artistry, in the stratosphere of the spirit, Clement Wood surveys the dusty destiny 'of the drifting mote called man'... His words will wipe off the warts of the world. His song will sweep the dust off the sun. Wood provides the fuel for numb nights in the winter of the world"
