First edition. Stiff wrappers in dustwrapper. Tape shadows on the first and last printed page from a jacket protector, else near fine in near fine dustwrapper. Inscribed by the author to his good friend Arthur Sturcke: "for Arthur in hope that 1947 will be a 'good year' for his painting as I know that all years are 'good' for those who are privileged to be his friend through them Kenneth. February 1, 1947." Sturcke was a now little-remembered painter and pacifist who exhibited in the 1930s and 1940s, and who did much to help and support Patchen. Patchen mentions him in his book *Memoirs of a Shy Pornographer* in a dialogue discussing art and artists: "And what about DeNiro? There is a serious young painter. All right what about Kamrowski? - Or Lee Bell? Or Jackson Pollock? - Or Arthur Sturcke?". Seller Inventory # 278266
