About This Item
E-343. Very Good. Hardcover. Leather. 8vo. Published by John Lane, New York. 1916. Xx, 168 pgs. Frontispiece. Later Printing. Bound by Stikeman in 3/4 brown leather and green paper covered cloth boards with gilt titles and raised bands present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Ninety-four poems. Thirty six are sonnets. Most of the poems are brief, under two pages in length, and deal with love or ardor, death or aging, or various combinations of love/ardor and death/aging. Only three treat subjects one could call primarily medical or related to medicine: "Thoughts on the Shape of the Human Body", "Paralysis" and "Channel Passage". However, the threads of death, aging, the limitations of one's physicality and loneliness - no strangers to medical humanities courses - are ubiquitous. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
