Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 8vo. Atheneum. 1975. 100 pgs. First Edition/First Printing. Copy of a typed poem with note by John Hollander laid in. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid, boards clean with no wear present. Hollander is always a fine poet. What underscores it here, makes it just a tad better than usual, is the book's readability; Hollander's love of wordplay, alliteration, and punning is the same here as in his other works, but there's an extra added dimension, an ineffable something that helps these hundred pages to simply flow better than many of his other book-length collections. I have no idea what this quality is, or why it manifests itself here more than it did in, say, Town and Country Matters. These are fun poems, dealing with matters of the mundane, though surely able to stand up to as much scrutiny to which any doctoral candidate looking for dissertation fodder would subject them. But most readers won't be concerned with that; these poems are, quite simply, fun to read, full of life and lovely. E-100; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.…
