Coleridge (1772-1834) compiled this unsystematic collection of commentaries and aphorisms on selected passages from the 17th century Anglican divine Archbishop Leighton.

Description:
Upland, California: Blackbird Press, 2021. Fine. A signed, limited edition broadside of this poem, which originally appeared in the Poem-A-Day program from the Academy of American Poets. Herrera, the U.S. Poet Laureate from 2015 to 2017, said: "I had been wanting to write a poem dedicated to George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery for a while. After a few drafts, the poems felt forced. This piece was the last attempt. Gwendolyn Brooks came to the rescue-her hammering 'we,' and her complex simplicity. And a barely visible tint of Ginsberg." This broadside was printed in an edition 150, of which 100 were keepsakes for the 2021 Parenthesis 41. This is number 18. Jean Gillingswators designed and printed the poem, using a printing technique to fade the "we" at the end of each line to evoke the dying struggle of George Floyd. The broadside is printed on white and gray textured 7 ½" x 11" stock in black ink. Fine.

Description:
San Francisco: A.M. Robertson, 1916. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. This eclectic collection of verse is split into four parts. The first consists of 33 of the fantastic poems for which Sterling was so famous, followed by three poems on the Panama-Pacific Exposition and four personal poems, and concluding with 43 poems on the then-ongoing First World War. An Oakland contemporary of Joaquin Miller and Jack London, George Sterling (1869-1926) later became one of the first residents of Carmel and a leading supporter of the poetry of fellow bohemian Robinson Jeffers. Sterling is said to be the inspiration for two Jack London characters: Russ Brissenden in Martin Eden (1909) and Mark Hall in The Valley of the Moon (1913). Inscribed and dated in the year of publication by Sterling to Mary Elizabeth Fenn on the front flyleaf, with Fenn's bookplate on the front pastedown. Small octavo. Original green cloth binding, with gilt stamping. In the scarce dust jacket, which is a touch browned with… Read More
