Just to note for the record -- I checked Granger's Poetry Index online,
Literature Resource Center, MLA International Bibliography database and
also various free online poetry databases and archives and was unable to
find information about him or his poems.

Subject: [PW] A.E. Johnson

Hi Womb at ts,
I have a patron looking for a poem she thinks is called "Recovery" by 
Albert Edward Johnson.  He was poet-in-residence at Syracuse University 
in 1948-1949, and I assume that this is something she heard him recite 
then.  She says "I don't known any lines verbatim; I know this: it is a 
sonnet; the first part describes a snow-laden evergreen tree. When a 
small bird lights on the tip of a branch, it rebalances and flings off 
its snow burden. The second part follows logically."  I have checked 
with Syracuse, who also did a quick archive check for me, and Brown 
University, which had some titles that Syracuse didn't have.  Several 
Yahoo! searches didn't turn out anything, either.  Any thoughts on where

to look next?
Thanks,
Deb Bruce
