About This Item
Only 2000 copies printed as noted in pencil by an unknown hand on the copyright page, celebrating 40 years of service and achievement in the art of poetry. This is a review copy, fine in blue boards with paper labels on the front board and the spine; the near fine dw is lightly dulled on the spine with a small hole on the front spine fold. Uniquely SIGNED by thirty poets from the Society, some of the writers signing multiple times! There is a pencil notation on the verso of the front board indicating the book was a gift from Gustav Davidson, the Secretary of the Society and the editor of the book; he has signed the book on the title page. Some of the other signees include Leonora Speyer, A.M. Sullivan, Alfred Kreymborg, John Hall Wheelock, Joseph Auslander, and Louis Ginsberg, among a score of others. The recipient of the book lists, in pencil, on the rear end paper and rear board, the names, dates and page numbers of each individual signature, spanning ten years! A absolutely distinctive item!
