Soft cover. Condición: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This 12 mo (digest-size, 5-1/2 X 7-1/2-inch) 1950s science fiction magazine is "good" at best with a visible 7-1/2-inch diagonal crease to front wrap, internal pages moderately age toned with several dog-ears; pages still flexible and easily read. The first page encountered -- bearing the Editor's Note, promoting the upcoming special Flying Saucer issue of "our companion magazine, Amazing Stories" -- is numbered page 3, with Table of Contents to verso numbered "4." If there were ever pp. 1-2, they're missing. But this issue is uncommon, probably because of the "bondage" cover by the redoubtable Edward Valigursky, in which the well-endowed blonde, chained to her post, watches with some trepidation the approach of the hairy brute. In fact, the concept probably could have formed the basis of an impressive science fiction tale; too bad a perusal of the contents of this magazine reveals no such tale within -- either the promised tale never arrived in time, or editor Paul Fairman simply selected lascivious (well, at least "eye-catching") cover art with no requirement that it bear even a tangential relationship to the story lineup inside. What we do find inside are Robert Silverberg's "Call Me Zombie" (Are we all mindless puppets? Well, pretty much.) and Harlan Ellison's post-apocalypse "Phoenix Treatment," in which a bunch of scientists led by a bacteriologist who might as well be Tony Fauci come up with a plan to keep the ignorant peasants from bothering them as they continue their secret work on, you know, The Plague. The torch-bearing, rock-throwing peasants just don't understand that the scientists are trying to HELP THEM, like, you know, the FDA, the CDC, the NIH, the WHO, Pfizer, Moderna. . . .

Auden endowed poetry in the English language w/ a new face. Or rather, w/ several faces, since his work ranged from the political to the religious, from the urbane to the pastoral, from the mandarin to the invigoratingly plain-spoken. This collection presents all the poems Auden wished to preserve, in the texts that received his final approval. It includes the full contents of his previous collected editions along w/ all the later volumes of his shorter poems. Together, these works display the astonishing range of Auden's voice & the breadth of his concerns, his deep knowledge of the traditions he inherited, & his ability to recast those traditions in modern times. Auden divided his poems into sections that corresponded to what he referred to as chapters in his life, each one beginning with a change in his inner life or external circumstances: the moment in 1933 when he first knew "exactly what it means to "love one's neighbor as oneself"; his move from Britain to America in 1939; his first summer in Italy in 1948; his move to a summerhouse in Austria in 1958; & his return to England in 1972. Auden's work has perhaps the widest range & the greatest depth of any English poet of the past 300 years. From the anxious warnings of his early verse through the expansive historical perspectives of his middle years to the celebrations & thanksgiving in his later work, Auden wrote in a voice that addressed readers personally rather than as part of a collective audience. His styles & forms extend from ballads & songs to haiku & limericks to sonnets, sestinas, prose poems, & dozens of other constructions of his own invention. His tone ranges from spirited comedy to memorable profundity: often within the same work. His poems manage to be secular & sacred, philosophical & erotic, personal & universal. "All the poems I have written were written for love," Auden once said. This book includes his famous early poems about transient love ("Lay your sleeping head, my love", "Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone") & his later poems about enduring love ("In Sickness and in Health", "First Things First"). The book also includes Auden's longer, more thematically varied poems, from the expressionist charade "Paid on Both Sides" to the formal couplets of "New Year Letter"; the darkly comic sequel to The Tempest, "The Sea and the Mirror"; & a baroque eclogue set in a wartime bar, "The Age of Anxiety". This edition includes an introduction by Edward Mendelson, the editor of the present volume & Auden's literary executor. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "W.H. Auden had the greatest gifts of any of our poets in the 20th century." -James Fenton, NYRB. "At the beginning of the new century, [Auden] is an indispensable poet. Even people who don't read poems often turn to poetry at moments when it matters, & Auden matters now". -Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for anl additional fee & via efficient USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL to all international shipments at our posted rates. …

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. Special Edition. Advance Readers Copy of an Uncorrected Proof of the Expanded Second Edition of Auden's SELECTED POEMS in the Vintage Original paperback edition. "The original edition lacked poems that have become popular more recently, such as 'Funeral Blues,' and was weighted toward the poet's more serious side. Realizing that Auden's lighter, more comic works are just as brilliant, Mendelson redresses the imbalance, giving readers the pleasure of experiencing the many facets of Auden's art in one volume. Also new are brief notes explaining references that have become obscure to younger generations of readers, and a revised introduction that tells us more about Auden's emotional life than was known in 1979."

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. The Batsford Book of Romantic Poetry Edited by Samuel Carr London: B.T. Batsford Ltd., 1982. First edition. Hardcover, original brick-red cloth with gilt lettering to the spine. Dust jacket present. 124 pages (including preliminaries and indexes), with 4 colour plates and numerous black-and-white illustrations throughout. Illustrated endpapers. 8vo (approximately 23 × 14 cm / 9 × 5½ inches). ISBN 0 7134 3903 3 / 9780713439038. Includes indexes of poets and artists. This handsomely produced Batsford anthology brings together poems of the Romantic period with the paintings and drawings that so often shared the same subjects and sensibility. The double aim, set out in the introduction, is both to give pleasure through the juxtaposition of memorable (and sometimes unfamiliar) verse and pictures, and to show how closely the poets and painters of the age responded to the same themes: night and nightmare, storm-lashed coasts, ruined abbeys, moonlight, the Lakes, the Alps, and the Italian landscape. Wordsworth's Tintern Abbey appears alongside views by Turner, Girtin and Crome; Shelley's The Cloud is paired with Constable; Byron and de Loutherbourg share stormy coastal scenes; Erasmus Darwin and Henry Fuseli are both preoccupied by the night-mare; and the Lakes, Alps and Italy recur throughout. The colour plates include works after William Blake (Thus wept the Angel voice… from America), Francis Towne (The Source of the Arveiron), John Constable (Stonehenge), and J.M.W. Turner (The Devil's Bridge, St Gothard — a detail of which also forms the striking jacket illustration, supplied by Thomas Agnew & Sons). Black-and-white reproductions throughout feature further works by Joseph Wright of Derby, James Ward, Henry Fuseli, John Crome, John Constable, George Barret Jnr, Thomas Girtin, J.C. Buckler, Edward Burney, John Martin, Samuel Palmer, and others. Front and back endpapers reproduce watercolours and paintings by J.S. Cotman and P.J. de Loutherbourg respectively. About the editor Samuel Carr (1913-) was a successful and prolific British editor of illustrated poetry anthologies, almost all published by Batsford. His other titles include The Poetry of Cats (1974), Birds, Beasts and Fishes, The Poetry of Childhood, The Poetry of Birds, The Poetry of Horses, The Poetry of Railways, Hymns as Poetry (with a preface by John Betjeman), The Batsford Book of Country Verse, and later volumes such as Ode to the Countryside and Ode to Flowers. He specialised in carefully chosen thematic collections that paired verse with fine reproductions of related art, producing attractive, accessible books that remain popular with collectors of both poetry and illustrated volumes. Condition (based on the copy shown) Book: Very Good. Clean, bright cloth boards with only light shelf-wear; tight binding; pages clean and unmarked, with the illustrations crisp. No significant foxing or inscriptions noted. Dust jacket: Very Good. The Turner jacket design is intact and attractive, with only minor edge-wear and light shelf-rubbing; protected or unclipped as applicable. The volume presents very well and is a strong, attractive copy of this first edition. A pleasing example of Batsford's characteristic illustrated poetry anthologies, offering both literary and visual enjoyment of the Romantic period. George Barret Jnr., J. Barnett, William Blake, J.C.
