New York: Macmillan, 1960. First edition. Red cloth-backed decorated boards; small 8vo. 70 pp. A volume of poems from a poet best known for her work for children, even though her first book was a Yale Younger Poets volume. Laid in is a letter from her friend Elizabeth Janeway. Moderate shelfwear, otherwise fine in a dust jacket faded at the edges, and a touch of soiling, otherwise about fine. The dust jacket is not price-clipped, although the front flap corners are clipped by the publisher. The letter is fine in a fine envelope; a thank you note for a review, mentioning Merriam's play, and "From the heart". Janeway was an activist, author and critic, well-known in political (her husband Eliot served in the FDR and LBJ administrations) and literary circles.
