About this Item

124p octavo, Spine base and top corners very gently bumped, tiny faint inked number on front pastedown, else fine in glazed boards. Inscribed to friend and publisher Richard Gilbertson with a whimsical and almost uncertainly unpublished, 17-line poem about the recipient. A rather extraordinary inscription as Hughes generally didn't sign books with more than a brief sentiment, if any. Hughes contributes a three page introduction and numerous prose pieces, as well as 19 previously published poems. Also contained are poems by Robert Lowell, Theodore Roethke, Philip Larkin, T.S. Eliot, and Elizabeth Bishop, as well as Sylvia Plath's poems "You're" and "Wuthering Heights".
