About this Item
First edition. Dark blue cloth with gilt spine lettering, orange endpapers; in the original dust jacket price $3.75. A fine, tight copy; in a modestly shelf worn dust jacket with the usual front panel rubbing. A collection of nineteen poems, and twelve translations, of which nine are from Rilke. Randall Jarrell had earned a solid reputation as an influential poetry critic but by winning The National Book Award for Poetry in 1961 for The Woman at the Washington Zoo, it became apparent that he was also a major poet. He served as the 11th Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress (1956-1958) a position that was authorized by an Act of Congress in 1985, as Poet Laureate of United States.
