SCHWARTZ, Delmore (1913-1966). Editor: Mary J. J. Wrinn. "The Poets' Pack of George Washington High School by Members of the Poetry Club and the Poetry Class, 1927-1931." New York: William Edwin Rudge, 1932. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. English language. Orange cloth boards with gilt titling on spine and gilt illustration of a shield on front cover. 12mo. XXII, 300 pp. 7 1/2 x 5 1/4 inches. 15 oz. Fore-edge and bottom uncut. Contains (pp.262-265) the first four poems of Delmore Schwartz's to ever be published: "E. A. P. - A Portrait," "The Saxophone," "Automobile," and "Darkness." Schwartz, whose writing garnered early comparisons to T. S. Eliot, was a major figure in twentieth-century literary circles in New York City and at Harvard, where he taught. His short-story collection "The World is a Wedding" is a classic of the period and social milieu. A long-time editor of the Partisan Review, Schwartz was considered by John Berryman to be "The most underrated poet of the twentieth-century." Schwartz's collected poems was published by FSG in April of 2024 and has sparked a new awareness of Schwartz's work. Near Fine. ASIN: B000M1ZDI.…

Store description

I sell uncommon art catalogs, academic monographs, and prints, as well as rare ephemera such as posters and zines. I ship from Brooklyn, New York. I am an alum of the Rare Book School and the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar, as well as Indiana University and the Ohio State University. I started in the trade at the Wexner Center for the Arts bookstore, and I have previously worked for the Columbus Metropolitan Library, the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago's Department of Prints and Drawings, and the Indiana University Art Museum's center for Prints, Drawings, and Photographs. More recently, I was the rare book cataloger at Donald Heald Rare Books, for whom I worked the ABAA's New York International Antiquarian Book Fair.…
