About this Item
Tall octavo. Stapled printed thin blue card wrappers. Modest chipping along the edges of the yapped wrappers, near very good. The eighth of a total run of nine issues edited and co-published by Charles Henri Ford, of a short-lived and rare experimental poetry magazine conceived when Ford was living at his parent's home in Mississippi. This issue includes work by Parker Tyler, William Carlos Williams, Louis Zukofsky, Paul Bowles, Gertrude Stein, Kay Boyle, Jay Leyda, and others. Also includes a rare early appearance of a poem by African-American poet Kathleen Tankersley Young (along with an ad for her book, *Ten Poems*). Young was a poet, active during the Harlem Renaissance. She served as an editor for The Modern Editions Press (which also published Paul Bowles' rare first book, *Two Poems*), and was co-editor of *Blues: A Magazine of New Rhythms*. Young died unexpectedly in April 1933. All issues of *Blues: A Magazine of New Rhythms* are rare. Seller Inventory # 553783
