About This Item
New York: William Edwin Rudge, 1932. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. 0x0x0. SCHWARTZ, Delmore (1913-1966). Editor: Mary J. J. Wrinn. "The Poets' Pack of George Washington High School by Members of the Poetry Club and the Poetry Class, 1927-1931." New York: William Edwin Rudge, 1932. First edition, first printing. Hardcover.

Contains (pp.262-265) the first four poems of Delmore Schwartz's to ever be published: "E. A. P. - A Portrait," "The Saxophone," "Automobile," and "Darkness." Schwartz, whose writing garnered early comparisons to T. S. Eliot, was a major figure in twentieth-century literary circles in New York City and at Harvard, where he taught. His short-story collection "The World is a Wedding" is a classic of the period and social milieu. A long-time editor of the Partisan Review, Schwartz was considered by John Berryman to be "The most underrated poet of the twentieth-century." Schwartz's collected poems was published by FSG in April of 2024 and has sparked a new awareness of Schwartz's work. Near Fine. ASIN: B000M1ZDI.
