Revised edition of Sotère Torregian's seminal book of poetry "The Age of Gold" (1976), retitled "The Age of Gold (Redux)", supplemented by a new section of other poems from that period that either were excluded due to the book's size limitations or now have been added. This edition includes for the first time three short yet relevant essays written by Sotère during this period, including one that was intended to serve as the original preface to the book. Will Alexander has written the introduction for this revised edition.
