About This Item
Norfolk, CT: New Directions, 1941. First edition. First printing. Gray paper boards printed in black and fuschia, with a similarly printed dust jacket. One of 300 of a total of 2000. This small volume "contains fifteen poems" for the poem Patterson (sic): volume one of Paterson was published in 1946. Wallace A22. This is a review copy (stamped as usual by ND as such with the date on the ffep). In addition it is poet Ben Belitt's copy. Belitt taught at Bennington College for half a century, and is probably best know as a translator and editor of Pablo Neruda. Boards worn, tips bumped, in a lightly sunned jacket with two chips missing (one on the back panel 1 1/2"X3/4"). Still quite a nice copy, uncommon in boards, quite scarce as a review copy. Very Good in Chipped DJ.
