Hard Cover. Condition: Near Fine. Near Fine. First Edition. First edition. An excellent copy. 1969 Hard Cover. viii, 98 pp. "In the boldly eclectic title poem of his 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 life at the end of his thirty-fifth year - at midpoint. These cantos form 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. As a writer of humorous verse Mr. Updike is alone in his generation; to serious poetry he brings the vision and warmth characteristic of his prose.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Published April 23, 1969, Second Printing, January 1978. 99pp. Very Good hardcover, an erstwhile remainder, has red stripe on tail & substantial reddish foxing on exterior spine-area boards, o/w unmarked w/clean cream-colored pages. (So not so bad.)…"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 life at the end of his thirty-fifth year--at midpoint. These cantos form 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. As a writer of humorous verse Mr. Updike is alone in his generation; to serious poetry he brings the vision and warmth characteristic of his prose." [jacket copy] "One of the best poets writing today. . . It is a poetry of civility--in its epigrammatical lucidity; in the matters it treats of. . . and in its tone of vulgar bonhomie and good appetite."--Thomas M. Disch, Poetry. "The persona that emerges. . . is mentally alive, alert of eye, quick to give and to enlist sympathy. . . I was entranced. The virtuosity of the stuff is dazzling, the satire devastating."--X.J. Kennedy, The New Criterion. This VG hardcover has a very-slightly-cocked spine & is wrapped in an intact VG jacket of clean exterior, slight reddish foxing inside. (So not so bad for a 48-year-old volume.).
