- New York: Harper and Brothers, 1942
New York: Harper and Brothers, 1942. First Edition. First printing. Inscribed on front endpaper: "To Marc / 'in the name of all tears, no tears' / from Jed Taggard. [I send Collected Poems, also, so that you may see pgs 11,12,13]." Octavo. Navy cloth hardcover; dustjacket; 113pp. Tight, square copy with a touch of foxing to endpapers and a very faint stain at base of front board; Very Good or better. In the original dustwrapper, unclipped (priced $2.00 on front flap), moderately dusted and worn; Very Good.
A late, important collection by the left-wing poet and critic, featuring some of her most overtly political poems including "To the Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade," "To an Unfoiled American Revolutionaire," and "Ode in Time of Crisis." Though uncertain, the recipient is possibly the playwright Marc Connelly, Taggard's direct contemporary; though not closely affiliated, the two moved in parallel, sometimes overlapping New York literary circles and certainly had shared political ideology.
