About This Item
New York City: Unpublished, 1949. Four-line poem handwritten in pencil by famed poet William Carlos Williams on a 10 1/4" by 7 7/8" sheet of lined paper with 2 holes punched in the right margin. Daphne Spence Williams was the first wife of WCW's son William Eric. WCW's apparent close connection to Daphne is evidenced by his Later inscription in her copy of Journey to Love, in which he called her "sweet Daphne" and referred to himself as her "father." The signature is clearly that of the poet prior to his series of strokes (1949-1952) and possibly prior to the marriage of Eric and Daphne in November 1949. The item is in generally very good condition: the paper is uniformly toned, with one tiny chip out of the top edge. The text reads: "to Daphne, . SIGNED. First Edition. Single Sheet. Collectible-Very Good. 10 1/4" by 7 7/8". Manuscript.
