About This Item
New York; (1960): Grove Press. First Edition. Octavo. First printing. 86 pages. Signed by Robert Duncan, dated April1964 with a flourish as was his typical habit. Previous owner signed Marshall Clemeuch (?). The first edition was in a paperback printing. His poetry is called domestic harmony nor does it hide his gay orientation though he is not interested in the political activist aspects of the gay rights movement. In short, he expresses poetry based on a very broad spectrum of life. After his viewing of Ingmar Bergman's Seventh Seal, he writes a poem that spots the power of its religious motifs and the darkness of the religious world of medieval Europe. Bound in pictorial paper wraps lettered and decorated in ble, green and black. A fine copy wrapped in saran wrap.
