First Edition (first printing), in the first state binding of rainbow-patterned boards with a tanned and slightly chipped paper spine label and the publisher's yellow top edge stain. 8vo. 95pp. A presentation copy, fondly inscribed by the author to fellow poet and Newdigate Prize winner David Posner, dated May 1943 and with two inked lines of verse beneath and Posner's signature in pencil above. Some occasional light pencilled marginalia and some notes to the front free endpaper, probably in Julian Symons' hand but possibly also in Posner's. Laid-in is a folded two-sided handwritten letter from Ransom to Julian Symons concerning an article on Restoration comedy which was to appear in the Ransom-edited journal 'The Kenyon Review'. Biro mark to the rear board and just a fraction of tenderness to the front hinge. A very good copy in the uncommon dust wrapper, non-price-clipped but chipped with some notable edge-loss and with some internal taped repair. The author's second regularly published book, containing forty-nine poems.. Book. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover.
