New York: Reynal & Hitchcock, 1947. First Edition. Hard Cover. Good dust jacket. Octavo. viii, 55 pp. Full cloth binding; board edges lightly sunned; back joint a bit soiled; a very nice copy in shelfworn dust jacket; large closed tear to the spine; chipping at the spine ends; price intact on the bottom corner of the rear flap. Wilbur's first collection of poetry, with inscription by him on the front free endpaper, “To the fine Hines / with love / Dick Wilbur / North Caldwell June 1948”; as North Caldwell was his hometown, one might speculate that Hines was an old friend. Uncommon, signed first book by this decorated American poet and translator--in addition to numerous other honors, Wilbur was the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes as well as the National Book Award.
