Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Book Condition: Very good. New Directions Poet of the Month #5 (1941). The text block is in very good condition, with no marks, tears, or dog-ears. Original owner's bookplate affixed to the half-title page. Red paper cover is sun faded along edges and has a tiny hole along the spine. 9? x 6?, 27 pages, 3 ounces. [Info from inner flap]: Theodore Spencer's poems are well known to many readers through frequent publication in periodicals, but this is the first time they have appeared in book form. They are poems which, as the author points out in a prefatory note, were written to be read aloud. They are lyrics, that is, in the original sense of the term; and their essential musical quality is clearly demonstrated in the recordings, which have been made of Mr. Spencer's own readings of many of the poems in this volume. Few modern poets have been able to use so effectively such ancient lyric devices as refrain and variation. Mr Spencer does not achieve his musical effects, however, by sacrificing the logical coherence of his poetry: these brief lyrics, though their meaning is complex and subtle, are nowhere vague; and what they say is intensified. rather than obscured, by their metrical patterns. XX [From Wikipedia]: Theodore Spencer (1902-1949) graduated from Princeton University in 1923, and received a Ph.D from Harvard University in 1928. He then taught there, from 1927 to 1949. He was appointed lecturer in English literature at Cambridge University, England, in 1939. In 1942, Spencer gave the Lowell lectures on Shakespeare, published as Shakespeare and the Nature of Man, his most important work. Spencer also published essays, short stories, and poetry.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. Book Condition: Near fine. New Directions Poet of the Month #10 (1941), originally copyrighted by Faber & Faber in 1938. The text block is in very good condition, with no marks, tears, or dog-ears. Original owner's bookplate affixed to the half-title page. 9? x 6?, 31 pages, 3 ounces. [Info from inner flap]: ?F. T. PRINCE, a young English poet who has had much success in his own country, is still too little known in America. Perhaps it is sufficient introduction of him to say that his London publisher is Faber & Faber, whose poetry editor is T. S. Eliot. Mr. Eliot chooses most carefully, many years publishing no new poets at all, and his imprimatur really means something. Prince is modern in the best sense: he makes old forms do new things. He is definitely in the English tradition and is significant for his originality of perception and phrase. The present selection is chosen from his somewhat larger English volume ? the only one he has published up to now. One of his most recent poems is also included.? [From his 2003 obituary on the Poetry Foundation website]: Poet and scholar Frank Templeton (F.T.) Prince has been regarded as a significant poet of the 20th century by poets as varied as John Ashbery and Geoffrey Hill. Prince grew up in South Africa and later studied at Balliol College, Oxford University and Princeton University. He was the author of over ten books of poetry, including Poems (1938), Soldiers Bathing (1954), Walks in Rome (1987), and Collected Poems 1935-1992. F.T. Prince?s poetry was influenced by the work of Roy Campbell, Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, William Butler Yeats, and Arthur Rimbaud. As a scholar, Prince is best known for his work on Shakespeare and Milton. Much of Prince?s postwar poetry was written as he was teaching at Southampton University. Prince once wrote, ?From the beginning it seemed to me that I would have to go my own way. But it takes a long time, and varied experience, to learn what one really thinks and feels?longer if one is a poet, and if one lives in this century. Some of my past work looks strange to me now, but I have kept it because at the very least it can help towards an understanding of the better things.? Prince taught at Southampton University in England for over two decades. He also taught briefly at Oxford, Cambridge, and at institutions in Jamaica, the United States, and Yemen. He died in 2003 in Southampton.?.

Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is the First paperback Printing of "OF the Great House, a Book of Poems " by Allen Grossman, published by New Directions Press in 1982. Grossman was a distinguished poet and Professor in Humanities at Johns Hopkins University. His course of instruction concentrated on poetry and poetics. He was one of the finest poetic voices in America. His poems are rich with intelligence and directed emotion. One realizes, when reading Grossman, that one is in the presence of a great poetic soul. ****************************** From the cover blurb: "A book of poems should have exactly the same fullness and risk and lay itself open to the same judgement as a life", says Allen Grossman. "Of the Great House", which includes sections of "A Harlot's Hire" (1961), Grossman's first published book, as well as his mot recent poetry, presents an anatomy of the poet's working life. The title poem invokes "the sighted singer, in a / Passionate, laboring house", who confronts those figures in his unconscious which influence and interfere with poetic vision, braving the necessary destructions until "there is nothing in place of what/I know, the only thing that is the world". / Part II, "The Pictures in a Man's Life", seeks out relationships among the haunting, inspiring, "demonically incoherent facts" of life in the world the poet's parents, yellowwoods blooming on a lawn, closeness to an earlier self. . "Of the Great House" closes with "An Inventory of Destructions", a summing up and a summoning : "the poet speaks to the unborn in the / language of the born, and to the born he speaks / The language of the unborn. Break down and build! / Destructions are of the poet. Death is of God." **************************** OF THE GREAT HOUSE, A BOOK OF POEMS BY ALLEN GROSSMAN / Published by New Directions Press / A New Directions Paperbook (NDP535) / New York (1982) / First Edition // Trade Paperback, 88 pages; approximately 5 3/8" x 8"; photo-pictorial wraps, glued . // CONDITION - VERY GOOD - A nicely preserved copy, and the following noted: Exterior - Modest surface rub, else clean. / Interior - Clean and presentable . / Binding - Solid.
