Seller: Whitmore Rare Books, Inc. -- ABAA, ILAB, Pasadena, CA, U.S.A.
First edition. Near Fine in original printed wraps, with just a touch of rubbing to spine ends and small chip to upper front corner. Internally a crisp, unmarked copy. The first posthumously published work of the author. An increasingly scarce example of Stanford's maturing work, cut short by his suicide at 29. Crib Death, like so much of Stanford's poetry, is immersed in the vivid language of pain, loneliness and death. It also provides a glimpse into how his voice was growing -- leaving us with the emptiness of unanswered questions about where his work might have evolved. "Graphic and crude at times, and deeply centered around life in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas while being filled with unexpectedly beautiful, surprising, insightful imagery that adds as much mystery as meaning" (Lochaven Review).
