ALL FIRST EDITIONS. Seven separately published volumes. All in original publisher's bindings, as issued (see below). Lighter than Air Craft with eight wood engravings by Barnard Taylor; "Sonnets" with seven wood engravings in the text by Barnard Taylor; "The Myth of Dark and Light" with six linoleum block prints, each in a different color, by Alice Wand. ALL SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, SOME WITH ADDITIONAL PERSONAL INSCRIPTIONS (see below). Nothing for Tigers with light marginal dampstains; all other volumes internally pristine and with only the most trivial defects to the bindings (see below). American poet Hayden Carruth (1921-2008) was the author of more than 30 works and the recipient of numerous awards, including the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Lannan Literary Award. As noted by the Poetry Foundation, Carruth's writing is "characterized by a calm, tightly controlled, and relatively 'plain' language that belies the intensity of feeling behind the words." The present seven works, offered as a group, represent more than 30 years of his long literary career. The poetry in these volumes is both gritty and playful, inspired by nature, country living, and jazz, as well as Carruth's own personal experiences and struggles with alcoholism, anxiety, and abandonment. As indicated by the inscriptions given below, these works all come from the collection of Laure-Anne Bosselaar (b. 1943) and her husband Kurt Brown (1944-2013). Bosselaar is a Belgian-American poet, translator, and editor who has published numerous works of poetry in multiple languages, including five collections of her own works. She has been given various prizes and recognitions (Pushcart, Isabella Gardner, Breadloaf) and was named Poet Laureate of Santa Barbara in 2019. Sometimes publishing jointly with Bosselaar, Brown was also a prolific poet and editor of anthologies, as well as the founder of the Aspen Writer's Conference, playing a pivotal role in shaping its early vision and establishing Aspen as a literary center. Hayden Carruth and his poet wifeJoe-Anne McLaughlin Carruthwere good friends of Bosselaar and Brown, and the couples would spend time together when visiting their respective cities.Joe-Anne and Bosselaar also gave readings together in the late 1990s and early 2000s. 1) NOTHING FOR TIGERS.
