Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Art Now; 70 pages; Clean and tight in original gray cloth binding in very good pictorial dustjacket. 48 illustrations (7 in colour). Translated by Sylvia Guth. Thomas Erma was born in Estonian in 1939, but emigrated with his family in youth, eventually settling in the United States. Erma's first exhibition was in Paris in 1959. ".his deep, brilliant imagination threw the doors of the spiritual universe open to him. The plastic effects he has produced for three years with his collage paintings are an eloquent token of the wealth and resourcefulness of his ensemblistic power, of his talen for the combination of forms." It is recorded that fellow artist Keith Sutton fell in love with Erma during a visit to Paris in 1960. Erma's short career was ended at the age of 25 by a bullet in the heart in 1964.

"Sometimes it seems almost futile to try to write anything new because it has all been said before - and so well said. Of course, any such defeatism must lead to a dead end of accomplishment in terms of literary effort. Fortunately for the living and those to come, there are many bright new stars on the panel of contemporary writers. They are skillfully telling the story of these eventful days and their words will be read with relish by future generations. In fact, the printed word today is so prolific, and the competition with the book, the magazine and the newspaper is so great, future generations will require anthologies in great number to know what our bright literary stars have said. In this anthology there has bee no effort to be erudite, consistent, unusual or educational. The prime purpose is to amuse by exposing the reader to many things he has read before and may wish to read again. Perhaps that poem he [or she] HAD to learn, to pass freshman English, is here. He may even enjoy rereading it under different auspices. It is not possible to include only those things that appeal to him. If he dislikes poetry in any form, we hope he will please forgive us. Some of us like the "well-turned couplet." On the other hand, there are those who love Shakespeare, but just cannot understand how his hallowed words should appear with some of the more commonplace choices that have arrived in this selection. It takes all kinds you know - and we have tried to select all kinds of literature." - excerpt from Editor's Comment.
