Poets, Farewell!

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1929. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. Hardcover. First edition. This “is not at all the conventional collection of poems, but consists of very diverse material given unity by the pervading sense of an unusual personality. Although written for the most part in the established forms, the poems are intensely modern in tone and method. They have at times an astonishing effect of giving back the sensation of reality, and an emotional force all the greater because of their restraint, their outer serenity and perfection” (jacket). Bound in quarter black cloth with brown paper covered boards titled in gilt on front cover. Upper corner lightly bumped, otherwise fine. In a white and blue dust jacket titled in blue on the spine and front panel. A few short closed tears to edges of jacket and minor browning to spine panel. A bright, fresh copy, uncommon in this condition. 78 pages. POE/110216.
