"Hart Crane was one of the most important poets of the 20th century. Robert Lowell called him 'the Shelley of my age' and 'the great poet of that generation'. The sensational aspects of Crane's life have tended to obscure the greatness of his poetry. Born in 1899 in a small Ohio town, Crane rebelled against his respectable family, and during the 1920s led a wild, precarious life in Brooklyn, Europe and the Caribbean: asserting his homosexuality, tormented by his fickle genius, depressed, sick, poor and usually drunk. In April 1932 he jumped off a ship and drowned in the sea. But Hart Crane published White Buildings (1926) and The Bridge (1930), two major landmarks in American literature. His great poem 'The Bridge' is a modern epic, a metaphorical fusion of personal feeling with the myths and history of America, and an optimistic reply from the New World to Eliot's Waste Land. When Crane created his new visionary poetry, he found his own American symbols, man-made or untamed, in modern cities of concrete and steel, and in the luxuriant Florida Keys and Caribbean islands. Hart Crane's poetry was unavailable in Britain for many years until the Bloodaxe edition was published in 1984. This new Complete Poems, based on Brom Weber's definitive 1966 edition, has 17 additional poems from the Hart Crane manuscript collection of Columbia University Library.".…

Softcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Volume LXXXVI, Number 4. Tall octavo. 272-360, viii (ads) pp. Ex-library with a cover stamp and several stamps throughout. Cover with a short tear, staples oxizied, light stain in the upper margin at the crown for most of the text (and affecting the gutters of the first and last pages), lacking two leaves of plates by Aristide Maillol (between pages 314-315) and the linoleum cut by Lowell Houser (between pages 318-319), a good only copy.

Also contains prints Jean Toomer's poem "Reflections" and Hart Crane's poem "A Name for All," among much else.…
