This is the First Edition hardcover of "Laws of Ice", a book of poems by Reynolds Price. Published in 1986 by Atheneum. The book, Price's second book of verse, is signed on the title page by Reynold Price. It's a very nice find for any Price collector. From the dust-jacket write-up : "Price's old strengths are intensified here and elaborated - the tense but lucid narrative impulse that recovers territory long ceded to fiction and makes each piece a discreet poet-to-reader communication, the always surprising lyric intensity of image and rhythm, and a range of tones and forms that proves more than adequate to assume the masks demanded by an unusually varied range of experiences and subjects. "The poems are divided into three parts. The first, among its other purposes, asks a series of implicit questions; the third attempts answers. The second part, called 'Days and Nights', is a single long poem divided into thirty-five parts - the journal of a year in the poet's life - a year that moved, blindly though with dim forebodings, toward the discovery of a grave illness and its seismic unforeseen aftermath. The journal is an experiment both in the varieties of informal verse-speech and in the buried unity of all human lives, subject as they are to the always unforeseeable gifts and tolls of a daily fate that can only be met, then borne.
