Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. In 1844 Eliakim Littell started publishing "Littell's Living age", a weekly literary journal. Mostly it was excerpts from works - both magazine and books - published elsewhere. At times correspondents purported to share material, and sometimes there were bits and snatches of literary news. Trying to place this periodical in the scheme of things, I guess I would say it was a distant forerunner of periodicals like "The Reader's Digest", only with a higher literary pretension. TITLE : Littell's Living Age ISSUE : Vol. 2, Fifth Series; From Beginning : Vol. CXVII, No. 1504 DATE : April 5, 1873 IMPRINT : Littell and Gay PLACE : No. 17 Bromfield St., Boston PROVENANCE : Once shelved in the personal collection of Reverend E. P. Powell (Edward Payson Powell, 1833 - 1915), graduate of Hamilton College and Union Theological Seminary. He was a Congregationalist minister, an author of books and an editorial journalist of prolific production. Powell worked in the service of Abolition and civil rights. He was a resident of Clinton N.Y. and Utica N.Y. Powell was a voracious subscriber to periodicals of intellectual nature. He has not signed this item, nor is a subscription mailing label affixed to the exterior. DETAILS : Weekly Periodical; pages [1] - 64 (64 pp); approx. 6 1/4" x 9 1/2" ; pictorial wraps, sewn. Advertisement for "Littell's Living Age" on rear exterior; various advertisements on insides of cover, including one for Burlington College, NJ.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. 2004. xii, 277pp. Frontispiece portrait of the poet. Book and unclipped dust jacket are in excellent condition with no inscriptions. "This long-overdue collection, which gathers together more than two hundred poems written over a span of six decades, along with an extended biographical analysis by Fred Whitehead, permits a comprehensive assessment of the work of a man Thomas McGrath described as "one of the very best of the revolutionary poets." Don Gordon made his name in the 1930s as a passionate and outspoken political poet, his work being published in the most prestigious American journals. In spite of his growing literary reputation he was called before the Un-American Activities Committee of the U.S. House or Representatives in September, 1951. Due to his openly communist views and his reluctance to give the committee names of fellow radical writers, Gordon was blacklisted from employment in the film industry. He devoted his time to writing poems, despite the difficulty of finding a wide audience for them. Many of Gordon's poems are suffused with themes of revolution and political activism, but this collection showcases the breadth of the subjects he addressed in his sixty years of writing, expressed with a rigorous aesthetic sensibility in a style that incorporates diverse influences, including modernism and surrealism.".
