Seller: Bookshelf of Maine, Franklin, ME, U.S.A.
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. First Edition. Price-clipped. ; Both book and dustjacket are in excellent condition. A fascinating literary hoax. This work, described as a "new" collection of poems, was pseudonymously authored by Steve Allen, posing as "one of Australia's best known poets," but who was really the famous TV host and creator of The Tonight Show. Allen was known for his wit and humor, and this project seems to fit with his playful approach to media and entertainment. By creating a fictional Australian poet persona, Allen was able to explore poetry writing outside his established television personality. The book also includes an introduction by M. L. Silver on Stevens' poetry and dust jacket blurbs from fictional poets. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 102 pages. Seller Inventory # 9915
