Translated from the Polish by Klara Glowczewska. [CID CORMAN] From the private library of fthe poet, scholar and editor and translator Cid Corman of Kyoto, Japan. Cid Corman was the editor and publisher of the seminal journal Origin and his press that produced Origin books which were often associated as well with James Weil and The Elizabeth Press in New Rochelle, New York. Cid always read his books with a pen in hand and with an eye as poet and editor. He would annotate often books and his reading either briefly with comments and marginalia or extensively, depending on the book, the subject, and even Cid's personal attachment to a given author, subject or even book. In many cases, Cid could have been involved with a particular author or even the publisher, and his many comments would adjust to that situation. In any case, with all books from Cid Corman's library, they were active and circulating. An important author for Mr. Corman. He begins on the opening flyleaf with a comment about the cover. One proceeds through the book showing a thorough reading by Cid. Nearly every page is marked with his pen, lmarginalia and notes, with annotations. Notes to himself and the author who is importantly unaware but Cid does not mind. In this reading, you are with Cid. . Very good stiff wraps
