About This Item
Penland, North Carolina: The Jargon Society, 1970. Very good/very good. Softcover : pp. [118] : drawings by Philip Van Aver : photograph of Alfred Starr Hamilton by Simpson Kalisher : black covers in cream jacket.
Light foxing and toning to margins of jacket; toned jacket spine; a couple of smudge marks with-in; photocopied newspaper articles loosely inserted. Hamilton's poems can evoke fairy tales and folktales with their odd metaphorical habits and turns of phrase; in his poems, Hamilton's uses simple yet elusive language and deploys syntax in surprising ways. In the introduction to A Dark Dreambox of Another Kind, the editors note that "Hamilton's is an extremely gentle language cultured in loneliness, the product of encountering a world while staying away from it." - Poetry Foundation.
