Sobre este item
Denver: Alan Swallow, 1956. First edition. Second issue, later issue dust jacket.Tan cloth stamped in brown; in printed dust jacket; Small 8vo. Poet's first book. Inscribed to poet Robert Mezey, "Iowa City, August 19. 1959". Mss. corrections on p. 23 (new line) and p. 35 ("And" to "The"); Mezey's signature; a few stray marks including a couple of squiggles on rear end papers. Very good in lightly spine sunned and price-clipped else near fine dust jacket. Attractive copy and a great association, both studying at Stanford. This book inscribed when Mezey had just graduated form Iowa as an undergrad. Bowers was a student of Yvor Winters at Stanford, and taught for many years at UC Santa Barbara; as one would expect from a student of Winters, he worked mostly in form, though he moved more towards blank unrhymed verse in later books. The winner of a Bollingen prize among others, he is generally seen as one of the more neglected poets of his generation. Harold Bloom called him "one of the best living American poets these past forty years." He died in 2000.
