Item description from seller

As perhaps some of your may perceive my recent listings of books of poetry though enjoyable for me are often clearly over my head. Thank goodness for Wikipedia who kindly supplied me with an ample article about the author of this book I am about to list-to wit (and with my thanks and occasional donation to Wikipedia): Sara Bard Field (September 1, 1882 June 15, 1974) was an American poet, suffragist, free love advocate, Georgist, and Christian socialist. She worked on successful campaigns for women's suffrage in Oregon and Nevada. Working with Alice Paul and the National Woman's Party at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, Field drove across the country from California to Washington, D.C., to present a petition containing a reported 500,000 signatures demanding a federal suffrage amendment to President Woodrow Wilson. She was known as a skilled orator and became a poet later in her career, marrying her long-time partner and mentor, poet and lawyer C.E.S. Wood. Please find her book: Darkling Plain . This book a new collection of poems was published by Random House of New York dated 1936 and the First Edition with the same date on title and copyright pages. The book measures 6 ? x 9 inches and includes 93 pages and was printed at the Grabhorn Press of San Francisco. The book is bound in burnt orange cloth with gilt titles on cover and spine and protected by a printed paper dust jacket with charming silver speckles inside and out. The book opens with a four-page Note to Fellow Marxists ; please see the photos of the Table of Contents for your further information. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The dust jacket is a bit darkened from normal handling particularly along the spine. It also shows some very minor edge wear. The hard covers are clean and unbumped with a narrow band of lightened cloth along the spine and top edge. Inside the book is unmarked and the pages are clean and bright and devoid of toning or foxing. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. …
