About This Item
Twayne, 1972. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Association copy: Kenneth Rexroth's own copy, inscribed to him and his wife by the author on the half-title page: "For Kenneth + Carol, from Morgan + Ada, Nature through you to us + back again, Santa Barbara, February 1973." Although a major champion of the Beats in San Francisco, Rexroth grew disenchanted with the scene and moved to Santa Barbara in 1968 where, a few years later, he married his longtime assistant, Carol Tinker. Scattered through the books early pages are pencil annotations, strikethroughs, and additions correcting the facts (e.g. "No!"). A neat book. Foxing to upper face of the text block, otherwise near fine in a very good dust jacket with some light foxing/blotching and wear to upper spine and corner. Jacket is green and brown, specific to this title, not (as in the stock photo) a generic Twayne series jacket. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in place-based and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
