Stamford, Connecticut: Privately Printed at The Overbrook Press, 1934. One of only 75 copies printed. Hardcover, in slipcase. Format is approximately 5.25 inches by 7.5 inches in a slightly larger slipcase. Minor wear and soiling noted. Illustrated endpapers. 15, [7] pages. Some pages uncut. The dates of the poems range from 1928 to 1934. Among the poems presented are: Awakening, Spring in Southern Italy, Dawn, Expectancy, Struggle, Creed, Fifty-ninth Street Bridge at Night, Lines, Chansonnette, Mon Ame a des Ailes, The Memorial, Wind Song, Cameo, and An Admonition. The poetry is equally evocative whether written in English or French. Perhaps the most striking is the poem Fifty-ninth Street Bridge at Night which to this reader retains its sense of immediacy and contemporaneousness within the vision of the narrator. This is an early offering from The Overbrook Press. To some, this rare volume is physical evidence of an under-recognized American poet of the early 20th century whose work merits renewed esthetic and scholarly interest. More
