Pittsburgh: Carnegie-Mellon University Press, 1980. First edition. Fine.. First printing of Dove's first book-length publication - a fresh, beautiful copy. Only 28 when this book was published, Dove weaves the weight of her research into African-American history with her contemporary experiences as a Black woman, including as a Fullbright scholar at the University of Tübingen.

Decidedly uncommon in this condition. 8.5'' x 5.5''. Original photographic wrappers, with portrait of Dove by Fred Viebahn. 71, [1] pages. Trace shelfwear. Else clean, bright, and sharp overall.

Pittsburgh: Carnegie-Mellon University Press, 1980. Hardcover. Very good. Hardcover. First Edition. Fine hardback in a jacket that shows just a hint of rubbing to the rear panel. Nice copy of the uncommon cloth issue of the poet's first regularly published book.
