[Offprint, cover title]: Poems

Descripción

First edition thus. Tall octavo. Small quarto. [2 blank], [58], [2 blank] pp., variously paginated. (N.B. pp.[18-19] constitute two bound leaves adhered at the foredge with adhesive.) Sewn wrappers with typed cover label and typed title page. Edges with creasing and tiny tears, cover with a bit of staining, very good. Interior is fine. Amateurishly bound leaves from *The Century Magazine*, an expanded version of the entry found in *BAL*, Vol 6, p.20 (see below). This volume contains the works "The House in Main Street" (illustrated from woodcuts by John J. A. Murphy), "In Excelsis," "The Immortals," "The Gravestone," "The Legend of Porcelain," "To Two Unknown Ladies," and "Hedge Island." The entry from *BAL* states: "Seven leaves extracted from *Century Magazine*, Feb. 1922, and amateurishly stitched together. There is no evidence that this poem was ever so prepared for publication." We assume the other leaves are from *Century Magazine* as well. *BAL* notes one holding of the smaller publication, at Yale; that was the only copy we could locate. A curious document.
