Inscribed on the title page to Douglas Calhoun, the editor of Anthanor journal, which published a special issued devoted to Creeley: "'Robert Creeley' with love, Bob." Perhaps the book was already signed so Creeley put quotes around his name. With Calhoun's ownership signature on the FFEP. The book is in very good plus condition because of some light rubbing and wear at edges of spine. Laid in is note in Creeley's hand on the back of State University of New York at Buffalo official stationary with his address, Mary Novik's address at the University of British Columbia, and finally "Lowell Cohn c/o Bob Wilson, Phoenix Bookshop"; in fine condition. Along with it is a ruled 3 x 5" inch paper pulled from a notebook in Calhoun's hand with some bibliographic notes related to Creeley, perhaps for that special issue, and few other stray thoughts. Both notes folded in half.

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.
