Item description from seller

240 x 160 mm. (9 1/2 x 6 3/8"). 5 p.l., 63, [1] pp., [1] leaf. Original blue boards backed in buckram, gilt design on upper cover, smooth spine with black label and gilt lettering, in the original glassine jacket. Housed in the original blue cardboard slipcase (in fine condition). Crane A30. Except for a small chip in the glassine jacket, a VIRTUALLY PERFECT COPY. Offered here in outstanding condition, this late work, issued when Frost was in his seventies, contains a diverse array of poems, some dealing with Nature and man's spiritual quest, and others contemplating nuclear war. Our copy is from the collection of two more recent poets, Laure-Anne Bosselaar (b. 1943) and her husband Kurt Brown (1944-2013). Bosselaar is a Belgian-American poet, translator, and editor who has published numerous works of poetry in multiple languages, including five collections of her own works. She has been given various prizes and recognitions (Pushcart, Isabella Gardner, Breadloaf) and was named Poet Laureate of Santa Barbara in 2019. Sometimes publishing jointly with Bosselaar, Brown was also a prolific poet and editor of anthologies, as well as the founder and first director of the Aspen Writer's Conference, playing a pivotal role in shaping its early vision and establishing Aspen as a literary center. FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING. No. 719 of 751 copies, SIGNED BY FROST on the limitation page.
