Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First UK Edition. Near fine in mole cloth covered boards with gilt titles to spine. Owner's name, place and date neatly written on front free endpaper. Top edge of text-block darkened and foxed. Fore-edge has a couple of fox-marks not affecting interior pages. **…*In a near fine colour illustrated dustwrapper, very slightly rubbed at extremities. Top edge of front flap has a small crease. Top edge of rear flap has a tiny crease to one corner. Head and tail of spine very slightly rubbed, and head of spine has a couple of tiny nicks. Back panel of dustwrapper very slightly yellowed (being a white background). Dustwrapper not price-clipped, showing original publisher's dual price of 25s net and £1.25p. Cover bright. No tears. ***'In the boldly eclectic title poem of this collection, John Updike employs the meters of Dante, Spenser, Pope, Whitman, and Pound, as well as the pictographic tactics of concrete poetry, to take an inventory of his own life at the end of this thirty-fifth year - at midpoint. These cantos are both a joke on the antique genre of the long poem and an attempt to write one: an earnest meditation on the mysteries of the ego, lost time, and the mundane. The remainder of the volume is a six years' harvest of light verse and incidental lyrics - poems dealing with love and death, animals and angels, places and persons, dream artifacts and the naked ape.' (Quote taken from inside jacket flap blurb). ***222 x 142 mm. 99 pages. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

(Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'John Hoyer Updike (March 18, 1932 - January 27, 2009) was an American novelist, poet, short-story writer, art critic, and literary critic. One of only four writers to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once (the others being Booth Tarkington, William Faulkner, and Colson Whitehead), Updike published more than twenty novels, more than a dozen short-story collections, as well as poetry, art and literary criticism and children's books during his career. Hundreds of his stories, reviews, and poems appeared in The New Yorker starting in 1954. He also wrote regularly for The New York Review of Books. His most famous work is his "Rabbit" series (the novels "Rabbit, Run"; "Rabbit Redux"; "Rabbit Is Rich"; "Rabbit at Rest"; and the novella "Rabbit Remembered"), which chronicles the life of the middle-class everyman Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom over the course of several decades, from young adulthood to death. Both "Rabbit Is Rich" (1981) and "Rabbit at Rest" (1990) were awarded the Pulitzer Prize.'
