About This Item
New Jersey: Rutgers University Press, 1966 Attractive 1966 book with grey marbled boards and lime green cloth spine with black lettering and black endpapers in near mint condition, SIGNED by John Ciardi on the title page. This is the poet's view of America in the 1950's and 1960's including Norman Rockwell, the cold war and the ever-present shadow and threat of Hiroshima: "There was a time before man. There will be a time after. I speak only what is evident. But as long as there remains/Any man who can read these/Words, none will believe them,/And after, no one will know/Whether to believe them or not." Or: "men are boys who find out about dying, and then forget."

I search out used books on principle to highlight their value, keep them circulating and out of the landfill (and just because I am compelled to tell people to "read this"!)
