258 x 167 mm. (10 1/8 x 6 1/2"). [8] leaves (final leaf blank). Quarter cream buckram over marbled paper boards, smooth spine with printed paper label. Printed in red and black. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR and his daughter Rosanna Warren on the limitation page. In virtually pristine condition. A copy from the library of two well-known American poets, this is an attractive fine press edition of works from the first U.S. Poet Laureate and the only person ever to receive the Pulitzer Prize in both fiction and poetry. Often inspired by his Southern roots, Robert Penn Warren (1905-89) composed passionate verses in what the Poetry Foundation calls "a lyrical mixture of earthiness and elegance, of the folk speech of Kentucky and Tennessee and what James Dickey refers to in the Saturday Review as a 'rather quaintly old-fangled scholastic vocabulary.'" The present work is made up of four poems, "Mountain Mystery," "True Love," "You Sort Old Letters," and "Last Walk of the Season," all meditations on different aspects of love. The edition is the work of the Palaemon Press, founded in 1977 by Stuart Wright (b. 1948) and operating through the mid-1980s, producing more than 300 pamphlets, broadsides, and books with small press runs. The stated aim of the press was to produce fine imprints of the works of primarily Southern poets. Our copy is from the library of 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 received 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.
