Why I began writing poetry at all I do not know. Perhaps it was to make tangible the rhythm I have always felt in things. Perhaps it was to make whole the circle beginning in the sound of Wolf Creek that runs through our acres. --BHR (Notes for Ohio)

There exists in the Young Harris College collection loose-leaf notebook that belonged to Reece. It is approximately 6x9 inches and made of black leather. Some pages are typed, some handwritten. It appears to be the repository of both finished lectures and speeches and notes to himself about writing, and particularly the study of poetry. Some pages are almost illegible due to bleed-through from fountain pen ink. The typescript pages are reproduced here for scholars to review. The balance of the notebook will be added to the collection as time permits.

Notes for a lecture in Ohio, probably in March or April 1951.
