Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Poetry by Rita Dove, Published in 1988 Gettyburg Review. Also Paintings by John Winship, Works by Frederick Busch, Robert Penn Warren, Donald Barthelme, Louis Simpson, Charles Wright, Philip Levine, Anne Beattie, and More. This is the Premier issue of "The Gettysburg Review", a lite…rary journal devoted to literature, commentary, and art. It presents a stellar array of renowned and top-notch authors (see below), and reproductions in miniature of the stunning artwork of John Winship. Of special interest is the inclusion of work by Black poet Rita Dove. Such perceptive inclusion is likely that one reason this small literary journal has continued to be top-rate is its panel of editors, which include Donald Barthelme, Rita Dove, Garrison Keillor, Ann Beattie, Robert Penn Warren, and Richard Wilbur, among others. In this Premier Winter 1988 issue are the following contributions: GRAPHICS — 9 Paintings by John Winship ESSAYS AND ESSAY-REVIEWS ** Cinema of-as Atrocity: Shoah's Guilty Conscience - by Steven G.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First Edition (SD). This book is 100 years young. It is solidly bound. The covers have almost no wear. The lettering on the front cover and spine is bright. There are just a few spots of light soiling (see the first three photographs). The front and back end papers have some age dark…ening (the author signed and inscribed the book on the front one).The rest of the pages look terrific. I didn't see any soiling or creasing. There are no markings. No attachments. And no writing other than the author's signed inscription. The book is inscribed to Frederick J. Shepard who wrote 'History Of Yale Class of 1873' which, like this book, was published in Buffalo, N.Y. Inscribed by Author(s).
