This book is "very good in good" -- will close its own boards, and jacket (while rumpled to top edge) shows no tears. In fact, volume might grade "fine in very-good," save that rear board was once damp near top of spine, and some dark blue ink has transferred to verso of the laminated color pictorial dust jacket, there. (Not visible to exterior.) Signed to half-title page: "To My Brother Clarence Collins with all my Love / P/O Virginia Hill #5516 / Phila. Pd." Since police officers' careers are generally ruined if they speak up about their treatment on the force (as detailed in this book), author Fletcher allows the women to tell their stories of harassment anonymously. The final 34 pp. of this book consists of lengthy paragraphs, arranged alphabetically, summarizing the police careers of the 105 police women listed as "Contributing Officers." On page 278 is the paragraph describing Officer Virginia Hill, Missing Persons Unit, Philadelphia Police Department. Clarence Collins, to whom Officer Hill inscribes here, was the founder of the rock & roll / R&B vocal group "Little Anthony & the Imperials." This book was obtained with other books and memorabilia including signed photos belonging to Mr. Collins in 2016 in Southern Nevada, where he made his home. 298 pp. Reduced from $50.

Near Fine in publishers cloth in like dustjacket. 1st edition. Signed by Ricks on title page Charlie and Brenda with love from Christopher January 2010. Looks closely at three outstanding poets of the past half-century Geoffrey Hill, Anthony Hecht, and Robert Lowell through the lens of their relation to their two predecessors in genius, T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound. The critical attention then finds itself reciprocated, with Eliot and Pound being in their turn contemplated anew through the lenses of their successors. Hill, Hecht, and Lowell are among the most generously alert and discriminating readers, as is borne out not only by their critical prose but (best of all) by their acts of new creation, those poems of theirs that are thanks to Eliot and Pound.ÒOpposition is true Friendship.Ó So William Blake believed, or at any rate hoped. Hill, Hecht, and Lowell demonstrate many kinds of friendship with Eliot and Pound: adversarial, artistic, personal. In their creative assent and dissent, the imaginative literary allusions like other, wider forms of influence are shown to constitute the most magnanimous of welcomes and of tributes.

A fascinating letter from the Oxford undergraduate poet Anthony Thwaite to his fellow 'Yorkshireman', recent Oxford graduate and poetry publisher, Ronnie Duncan. Having been asked for advice on potential contributors to the slightly older man's poetry magazine, Chance, Thwaite rattles off a series of recommendations in a substantial two page typed letter with extensive annotation in ink. Writing just before returning to Oxford in September 1953, Thwaite offers 'a few names to be going on with, I suggest all of whom produce good work; they are more or less in order of preference: Geoffrey Hill, B.A. Keble, Oxf. Elizabeth Jennings. George Macbeth.' Thwaite goes on to write about Kingsley Amis and John Wain 'Both are pretty good' and the possibility of writing an essay for Chance on William Empson's influence on the younger generation of poets. Thwaite (1930-2021) was a successful and prolific poet and critic; Ronnie Duncan (1927-) is an art collector and garden-maker of minor genius in Wharfedale. The paper has old folds; and punctures along the centre fold. Easily legible. Please contact Christian White Rare Books Ltd for more information or images of this item.
