Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. SONNETS ANTHOLOGY OF CONTEMPORARY VERSE BY RALPH CHEYNEY 1939 WOODCUTS HC DJ. I was surprised to learn that this book is actually quite scarce if not rare; only one copy found online. And yet it is titled: Sonnets- An Anthology of Contemporary Verse edite…d by Ralph Cheyney. The book is nicely decorated throughout with woodcuts by Frank Utpatel. Ralph Cheyney was an American Poet, married to another American Poet (Lucia Trent) and together they edited and published the literary magazine Contemporary Vision. Cheyney and Trent were both known for their activism and poetry addressing pressing social issues of the day. The Artist Frank Utpatel was best known for his science fiction and fantasy art although he also did striking woodcuts, like those found in this book. This largish hard cover book (7 ¾ x 10 ¼ inches, 160 pages) was published by Henry Harrison, the Poetry Publisher of New York dated 1939 and presumably a First Edition. The book is bound in gray cloth with maroon titles on the cover and spine and protected by an opaque glassine dust jacket. Condition: This book is in very good condition. There is some wear to the dust jacket including multiple small chips and tears (please see the photos). The hard covers are clean and still bright with some light bumping to the rear corners. Inside the book is unmarked and the pages and woodcuts are clean and bright throughout. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.
