Dial Press: New York, 1945. First Edition of author's second book, only 2,000 copies printed.

Signed and inscribed by Jarrell to Elizabeth Bartlett, possibly the American poet, founder of Literary Olympics and of the "twelve-tone" poem, though research surfaced no record of a relationship between the two poets

A very good copy with toning to front and spine edges, boards a little bumped, rubbing to decorated spine, light marking to pastedowns,  in a married dust wrapper, very good with light chipping, a two-inch edge tear and a few smaller edge tears.

A notoriously difficult book to find in fine condition, especially so for the fragile dust wrapper.  Signed copies are uncommon indeed.
