About this Item

First edition. Foreword by the publisher. Owner name and stamp on front fly and the front pastedown with a one-line inked note stating the giver else fine in decorative paper over boards with printed silver label, fine printed wraparound bound (likely with the Japanese price clipped; price in dollars remains), and very near fine slipcase with a bit of tanning and the silver label just a bit rubbed. (The unprinted cardstock "spine protector" is also present.) Over 250 poems from 153 American poets "selected from at least ten times that number." Notable for printing Gary Snyder's two-page poem "A Stone Garden," which he included in his first book, *Rip Rap*, published the same year. A nice copy of a book nicely printed in Japan.
