About This Item
New York: Scribners, 1929. First edition. Cloth-backed linen covered boards, with spine and front paper labels; small 8vo. 72 pp. Briefly signed and inscribed in 1934 on half-title page. Poet's second book. Extremities unevenly sunned, with minor wear, else very good and clean. The scarce purple dust jacket is heavily faded at the edges and spine, with four small pieces of tape on verso mending short tears, else very good. An important collection - Eight of the twenty-four poems by Bogan chosen for the Library of America selection of 20th C poets (where she is well-represented), are from this volume. A very scarce book signed in jacket which is, due to the fragile paper and the color, prone to wear and fading.
