About This Item
Chicago: Ralph Fletcher Seymour, 1963. Cloth. Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾"- 9¾" tall. Apparently, according to the available biography, Iris was a con man, plagiarist, forger, impostor... and poet. This slim volume of poetry is VG in a good jacket (1" by 3" piece missing from top of rear panel, some other small tears present). Blurbs, apparently authentic, from Eleanor Roosevelt, Carl Sandburg, and George Bernard Shaw. Certainly an oddity.
