An early collection of prose narratives (not to be confused with Reznikoff's magnum opus, the two volume "Testimony" published in the 1960s). This small work was dedicated to Louis Zukofsky, who had recently edited a 1931 issue of Poetry magazine devoted entirely to Reznikoff and the Objectivist movement. This copy with the ownership rubber-stamp of the late poet Hugh Seidman (1940-2023), one of Zukofsky's most accomplished students.
