This book was previously published privately and established McKuen as one of the best-selling authors of poetry and is evocative of the "New Romanticism" of the late 60's and early 70's. Contents include: Autobiography, Stanyan Street, Other Sorrows, I'll Try to Show You Spain, Some Poems for My Animals and Kearny Street, Eight Songs with a Foreword by Glenn Yarbrough. In the Foreword, Glenn Yarbrough writes, "I sing more Rod McKeun songs than songs by anybody else. I can't imagine performing a concert without including Stanyan Street.".

This was Rod McKuen's newest book of poetry in 1974. As in much of his earlier work, the poems are gentle, beautiful, alternatelylonely and happy, but these are poems unlike any the author has written before. They speak directly to man's uniquelyu human condition -- his wants, his solitude, and, most of all, his desire to be understood. But most importantly, these poems represent a new and different kind of McKuen writing -- more mature, more compassionate and more deeply in touch with both public and private feelings.

The Sound of Solitude is the most moving, private, and essential collection of verse Rod McKuen has yet been willing to share with his millions of readers. Written in diary form like his all-time bestseller, Listen to the Warm, this book details the slow, secret search for love, the joy of finding someone, and the nearly indefinable emptiness left behind when love goes.

(The Japanese poet Takubuku said, "Every man keeps a priso...)
The Japanese poet Takubuku said, "Every man keeps a prisoner groaning in his heart..." "And To Each Season" is a book I wrote in an attempt to free such a prisoner - or more than one - from mine. I am not sure if it succeeds. No one of us, I think, can name, let alone free, those demons - friendly or otherwise - that keep us from being the kind of men we'd like to be. I believe, increasingly, that man is now essentially alone. Irrevocably so. Whether that is good or bad, or can indeed be categorized other than for each case individually, I'm not prepared to say. For myself, I am grateful for the transients in my life, whether they be Sundays when the phone's not ringing or the odd stranger who happens by and leaves behind more pleasure than my concentration on my own needs quite deserves. Some of the lines in the book were written nearly twenty years ago and never published; that I loose them now means I find them true today. I am more and more concerned with truth, having lied my share within my life, and lately having been a good deal lied about. I am not convinced the truth can make men free, but I believe it a beginning and a final resting-place. Tomorrow, though, I might believe in lies. What I want is not to be held accountable for what I said today, or yesterday, so that my tomorrows can stay open. Poetry is fact, even in its imagery. This is a work of fact. Any disguise is a defense not known to me as yet. Clouds where clarity should be were not intended. I have not written for every man but I want to write for Everyman, because I wish to be one and the same with all my brothers, yet remain an individual. That I write so much on love must mean that it is paramount to me. It is. I have come back from a long tour just now, having loved nobody and everybody. This is for me a new beginning, or at least an end. - from the Author's introduction to "And To Each Season", 1972
