243 x 163 mm. (9 5/8 x 6 5/8"). 102 pp., [1] leaf. Original tweed cloth, spine with dark brown morocco label with gilt lettering. Housed in a very fine custom dark brown cloth folding case backed in brown morocco, spine with gilt lettering. (Without the original paper slipcase.) With a description dated 27 July 1998 from Jett Whitehead laid in (listing the price as $595). Crane A21; Clymer & Green, p. 75-76. See also: Hoffman, "Robert Frost and the Politics of Labor," in "Modern Language Studies," Vol. 29, No. 2 (Autumn, 1999), pp. 109-135. Spine slightly yellowed and the label with a couple tiny scuffs, faint offset in gutters at front and back because of binder's glue (as nearly always), but the contents pristine and an extremely appealing copy overall. Published during the Great Depression and New Deal reforms, this Pulitzer Prize-winning work is considered Frost's most politically driven collection of poetry. As Hoffman notes, Frost even admitted that "it has got a good deal more of the times in it than anything I ever wrote before. . . . One well known paper called me a 'counter-revolutionary' for writing it." Although the work stays true to Frost's signature blend of tradition and innovation, it also incorporates his thoughts and anxieties about the then-current climate of affairs, particularly regarding industrialization, capitalism, and labor organization. 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.
