About This Item
NY, Alfred A. Knopf, 1922. Copyright, 1915, 1922, by Algernon S. Crapsey. Published, August, 1922. Hard Cover. 107 p.; 19.5 cm. Foreword by Claude Bragdon and Preface by Jean Webster. "This collection of her verse is of her own choosing, arranged and prepared by her own hand. She wrote gay verse in the earlier days before the shadow fell upon her, but her rigorous regard for unity banished it from this record of the fearful questioning of her spirit. This 'immortal residue' is full of poignancy and power." (Bragdon) "As her study in metrics was astoundingly objective and coldly unreflective of any emotional mood, so her own poems were at the other extreme, astoundingly subjective and descriptive of a mental state that found expression in no other form. They are heart-breakingly sombre; but they are true. ...In spite of the fact that many of these poems were left only in their first rough draft, they are marvelously perfect, A fastidious distinction marks all of her work-- all of her life-- it was the most characteristic feature of a very rare nature." (Webster) Bound in floral patterned paper over boards, linen spine, printed spine label; yellow printed dj, in mylar, lacks spine; pencil inscription on flyleaf; VG. stock#102307.
