Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Third Printing of 1953 [First ?]. "Nash belongs to none of the 20th century's poetic movements though he borrowed from all of them. He published his first collection during the height of High Modernism and his last in the early 70s with the Language poets and Second New York School bubbling around him. 'The Private Dining Room' pops and fizzes on the level of sound poetry, both a sendup to the form and to 1950s propriety and etiquette guides." xiii, 169 pages ; 20 cm. Includes index.Book is very bright and clean and is unmarked. Tight, square binding, flawless rec cloth boards. The unclipped dustjacket is almost similar. Unpacked weight, 363g. We use both the Canada Post and the United States Postal Service and offer very competitive postal charges - based on actual costs, no overcharging. Images always available. Shipped well packed.
