About This Item
St. Paul, MN: Graywolf Press, 1992. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. An association copy, inscribed on the title page in the year of publication: "3/31/92, Port Angeles, WA, For Vince Celmente -- with moonlight over these words just for you. Tess." With a holograph version of the title poem, also with her signature, on the blank page opposite of the title poem on page 58--a lovely and scarce inclusion. Clemente was a professor at SUNY and his papers are held at Rochester University. Though known especially for her partnership with Carver and her stewardship of his legacy, Gallagher is an important Northwest poet and the winner of a Guggenheim and NEA Award among others. A near fine copy with light bumping to upper corners; in a near fine jacket with that same bumping and some light creasing to top of spine .

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
