E-100: Scribner. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1975. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. Atheneum. 1975. 100 pgs. First Edition/First Printing. Copy of a typed poem with note by John Hollander laid in. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid, boards clean with no wear present. Hollander is always a fine poet.

I have no idea what this quality is, or why it manifests itself here more than it did in, say, Town and Country Matters. These are fun poems, dealing with matters of the mundane, though surely able to… Read More
