Add to basketFirst edition [CID CORMAN] From the private library of fthe poet, scholar and editor and translator Cid Corman of Kyoto, Japan. Cid Corman was the editor and publisher of the seminal journal Origin and his press that produced Origin books which were often associated as well with James Weil and The Elizabeth Press in New Rochelle, New York. Cid always read his books with a pen in hand and with an eye as poet and editor. He would annotate often books and his reading either briefly with comments and marginalia or extensively, depending on the book, the subject, and even Cid's personal attachment to a given author, subject or even book. In many cases, Cid could have been involved with a particular author or even the publisher, and his many comments would adjust to that situation. In any case, with all books from Cid Corman's library, they were active and circulating. One of the many small press journals in Cid Corman's library. Cid was often personally attached to particular journal as either a visiting editor or just various editors were more than curious about Cid Corman's sense of things and would share their journals with him. Very close to fine and bright wraps. Heavily annotated and touched on by Cid following his reading of haiku, he being one of the masters of the art, translators and interpreters This makes for a fascinating reading following Cid's open discussion on the page.
