London, Libris, 1998. Fine. Paperback. 1870352467 . , First edition. Tall quarto, 85 black & white plates and xxiv pages of notes. Fine card covers, no inscriptions or marks, an excellent copy. This volume of photographs and poems contains 85 black-and-white press photographs from World War II which Brecht himself cut out of newspapers and magazines. They date from his exile in Sweden and Finland in 1940 and 1941, but were mainly collected during his exile in the USA, from July 1941 till the end of the war. To each picture, Brecht added a four-line poem - poignant, angry, personal or political, or a combination of these. This book therefore constitutes an intriguing record of World War II from the viewpoint of one of the 20th-century's greatest and most politically-engaged poets. .

Libris. Hardcover. Good. When it was originally published, this work was both unacceptable in the West for its left-wing analysis of the war and in the East for its passionate anti-war stance. The book contains some 90 b&w photographs that Brecht clipped, mainly from the US press during his years in exile. To each photograph he attached a verse quatrain - sardonic, poignant, savage and acerbic.

The Author, 0000. Unknown. Very Good/No Jacket. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. From the library of noted American poet Denise Levertov, an important influence in Pawlak's career. She has noted in ink 'Mark's Brecht poems - will need for BU talk in Nov.' 9 leaves, xerox printed in landscape format, double column. It appears that these translations have never been published, but Brecht's influence on Pawlak's own poetry is well-publicized. Levertov, Pawlak's former teacher, introduced him to Hanging Loose magazine (where she was a contributing editor). He became and has continued to be the co-editor for many years.
