Description:
London and New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1929. Hardcover. Near Fine. First edition. Quarter black cloth gilt and decorated paper over boards. Small tears at the spine ends, bottom corners a little bumped, else near fine lacking the jacket. Inscribed by Cullen to Afro-Caribbean Harlem Renaissance author Eric D. Walrond: "For Eric, Sincerely - and in Paris, Countee. Oct. 15, 1929." Waldrond, author of *Tropic Death* and an important figure in the Harlem Renaissance, abandoned New York for London in 1928. In 1925, Cullen dedicated his famous poem, *Incident (for Eric Walrond)*, about a racist incident in Baltimore, to his close friend and fellow author. A nice association copy of an important collection of poetry.
