About This Item
Kaysville, Utah: By the author. First Edition. Near fine. First edition, n. d. (1930s); 5 1/4 x 3 1/2; pp. [4]; textured blue wraps, printed in black; minor wear to edges and corners; in near fine condition.An amusing and quite uncommon poem by, then, one of Utah's most published authors, it extolled the virtues of an old privy, presumably the one outside his childhood home, of which he said: "Who knows the darksome stories you could tell; Of lovely forms exposed before your gaze..." Appearing as an afterthought, the last few lines of the booklet mention that the privy still stands and that Black Widow spiders like to hide in privies and bite people. OCLC lists one copy at Brigham Young; none other in the trade. Claude Barnes (1884 - 1968) was a prolific author, lawyer, businessman, and naturalist.
