Good/ good+ A well-handled contemporary poetic association copy of the first US edition of Elizabeth Bishop's translation of the diary of a Brazilian girl in the "far-off" provincial diamond-mining town, Diamantina: the American poet, William Jay Smith's copy. A near contemporary and a fellow prize-winning American poet, William Jay Smith (19182015) also followed Bishop in being appointed Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress, 1968-1970 (the nineteenth appointee; Bishop was eighth, serving 1949-50). He later described her as a "tutelary spirit," alongside Edwin Arlington Robinson, Marianne Moore, Theodore Roethke and Louise Bogan; Smith had first come across Bishop's poetry as a college freshman in 1935, and, like Bishop (and Moore), he "adore[d] particulars and exact observation" and "emphasize[d] wit and the skillful use of traditional forms" (Frank, 1998). He was not, however, a fan of her prose, observing much later in a CPR interview: "Elizabeth Bishop wrote a few essays but they were much inferior stylistically to her poems. It was clear that she had devoted less time and attention to them than she had to her poems"; sadly, no notes or marginalia feature here to hint at his thoughts on her work as a translator. We do, however, have Bishop's thoughts on Smith's translation of Jules Laforgue (and the impossibility of translating poetry); her mostly favourable review, 'The Manipulation of Mirrors,' had been published the year before in New Republic. A Brazilian literary favourite, which had been repeatedly recommended to Bishop, in her introduction the poet likens sections to Chaucer and "Wordsworth's poetical children and country people, or Dorothy Wordsworth's wandering beggars," whilst "occasionally entries referring to slavery seemed like notes for an unwritten, Brazilian, feminine version of Tom Sawyer". It did not sell well, nor bring in the income for which Bishop had wished. MacMahon A4; Elizabeth Frank (1998) 'The Pleasures of Formal Poetry,' The Atlantic; CRP Interview.

The present collection offers a window into the literary world of American poet and humorist Ogden Nash (19021971). It is comprised of 239 volumes published between 1886 and 1971, among which are numerous presentation and association copies. All books in the present collection come from the shared personal library of Ogden and Frances Nash. The collection spans poetry, humor, light verse, and literary criticism, and includes a significant number of first and limited editions, often in original bindings or dust jackets. Of particular note are six books inscribed by Nash to his wife, Frances (including five authored by Nash, one of which is in an "Author's Copy" half-leather binding). Included in the collection are 59 works by Nash, three of which feature edits to the text in Nash's hand. Twenty-seven of these Nash publications are Author's copies bound in half-leather. There are an additional 48 volumes bearing inscriptions to Nash from other authors and poets, most notably twelve volumes inscribed by S.J. Perelman. Among the 132 uninscribed volumes included here, 45 bear Ogden Nash's ownership inscription (10 bear the ownership inscription of Frances Nash). The number and range of authorial inscriptions represented in the present collections reflect Nash's wide-ranging literary friendships and professional associations. Notable among these are twelve warmly inscribed titles by humorist S.J. Perelman, whose acerbic wit is on display in a series of affectionate, playful, and sometimes satirical inscriptions to both Nash and his wife, Frances. These volumes also reflect Perelman and Nash's shared experiences in Hollywood and the literary scene of mid-century America. Other highlights include inscriptions from John Betjeman, Christopher Morley, E.C. Bentley, A.P. Herbert, David McCord, William Plumer Fowler, and Holger Lundbergh, among otherseach evidencing Nash's influence and the esteem in which he was held across literary and cultural circles in the U.S. and the U.K. O.
