About This Item
Pittsburgh: Carnegie Mellon University Press, 1989. Near fine.. Uncommon hardcover issue of the first edition of this verse collection from the Pulitzer-winning poet, inscribed to friend and fellow poet Stuart Dischell - with an additional holograph poem laid in. Dischell, to whom this copy is inscribed, is the winner of the National Poetry Series, a Pushcart Prize, as well as fellowships from the NEA and Guggenheim. The manuscript title poem laid into this copy, though it is without notable changes, predates the first publication of this poem in the Summer 1987 issue of the PARIS REVIEW. A wonderful association in a scarce format (presumably it was issued primarily for the institutional market), with a scarce manuscript. 8.5'' x 5.5''. Original black publisher's cloth. With original color pictorial title card. 64 pages. Inscribed by Wright on the title page: "For Stuart / Love, / Franz." Loosely laid in is a 2-page holograph copy of the title poem, also inscribed to Dischell and dated January 1987. Mild running to cloth. Bit of edgewear to card. Else bright, sharp, and clean overall.
