About This Item
New Directions, Norfolk, 1944. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. The Poets of the Year Series. Inscribed to Stuart Wright, the noted North Carolina collector, bibliographer, and the publisher of Palaemon Press, who championed Eberhart and acquired his papers. Wright's Eberhart collection is now housed at East Carolina University (see their finding aid for biographies of both Eberhart and Wright and the history and scope of the collection). Wright was also the author of Richard Eberhart: A Descriptive Bibliography, 1921-1987. The inscription reads on the title page: "To Stuart Wright, from Richard Eberhart, in 1981." A golden book for an Eberhart enthusiast. He won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award in Poetry and often wrote about the natural world, as in his famous poem "The Groundhog." A very good plus turquoise volume with some toning and wear to the edges of the boards, and toning to interior pages; in a very good dust jacket with some minor loss to upper and lower spine. Presents very well. A handsome, slender volume. Please inquire for photos.

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.
