No remainder mark. Bound in the original black cloth. Sharp corners. From the Dust Jacket: "This is a collection of the best poems of the distinguished poet, Countee Cullen, selected by the author, shortly before his death [in 1946], from the entire range of his work. Included in this volume are several new and hitherto unpublished poems. Here are poems burning and bitter, poems deeply religious in feeling, poems concerned with death, and poems that tell the heavy burden a man had to carry, a burden that made him write: 'Yet do I marvel at this curious thing, To make a poet black and bid him sing!' But not all the poems are serious or tragic. Countee Cullen wrote with a lyrical beauty, he loved the sound off singing lines and enchanting words. He wrote poems of love, poems to love,… Read More

Description:
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1947. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. First edition. Bookplate of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Yerby, and "The Frank Yerby's" in ink, both on the front pastedown, top corners a little bumped, near fine in very good dustwrapper with a few modest chips along the upper extremities. Laid in is a letter from a Harper & Brothers publicity direcotr sending the book to Yerby and soliciting any comments or blurbs he might want to provide (alas he did not). A collection of Cullen's best poems, selected by himself, published shortly after his death. A fascinating association copy. Yerby was the author of *The Foxes of Harrow* (1946), and a slew of other bestselling romance novels. Despite his success very few of his fans were aware that he was of mixed race, his father being part African-American and part Seminole. Only later in his career did he address race more directly, especially in his 1971 novel *The Dahomean*.
