Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Near fine condition in the original illustrated wrappers, showing only the most minor traces of handling. The covers remain clean and bright with strong black line art and minimal edge wear, a faint vertical crease along the spine fold, and light corner rubbing at the lower edge. Th…e interior pages are crisp, unmarked, and evenly toned, free of foxing or stains. The binding is firm, the text bright, and overall preservation excellent for a small-press poetry volume of this era. Light dealer pencil markings on flyleaf, easily erasable. Warmly inscribed by Simcha Simchovitch (1921-2017) to fellow poet Myra Sklarew, "a fellow poet and mourner of our erased Yiddish planet," dated Toronto, December 6, 2006. Laid in is a two-page autograph letter signed by Simchovitch to Sklarew, written on the same date, thanking her for sending her books and discussing their shared literary and cultural interests, including a reference to his obituary for David Wolpe published in the New York Yiddish Forward. The letter, intimate and reflective, situates both poets within a transnational postwar Yiddish literary community. A moving and highly personal association copy linking two significant voices in Jewish diaspora poetry. Provenance significance: Myra Sklarew (1934-2024) is an important poet and memoirist whose work often explores Jewish identity, memory, and the Holocaust — subjects central to Simchovitch's own writing. This dialogue between poets across languages and generations gives the volume strong research and collector value. Inscribed by Author(s).
