By Harry Kemp
Provincetown: Provincetown Publishers, 1952. Good. Provincetown: Provincetown Publishers, 1952. First Edition. Octavo (21.5cm); printed wraps; 104pp. Covers edgeworn; spine backing split along top front joint and separating from textblock but holding by rear; smudging and toning to surface, with a ringstain over title and shallow dampstaining to bottom rear not affecting pages. Light creasing at top page corners throughout. Binding sound and pages unmarked.

Signed by the author on initial blank "Harry Kemp / signed with a seagull's feather." A printed note on the title page confirms "Each copy autographed with a seagull's feather; and with an envelope of sand thrown in--gathered from the First Landing Place of the Pilgrims," though said envelope of sand is sadly lacking here. Late -career volume by the self-proclaimed Vagabond / Hobo Poet.
