And Touch Clean Earth, I.

First edition. Stapled green wrappers. Cover woodcut by John Moment. Illustrated with linoleum cuts by William J. Flemer, III. Issued together with another title by Flemer when both authors were students at the Lawrenceville School. Volume One, entitled *And Touch*, is a collection of poetry by Posner. Fine. The various contributors to this little project have previewed their eventual destinies: Posner went on to write *The Deserted Altar*, the Newdigate Prize Poem at Oxford in 1956; Flemer, a Yale-educated nurseryman and botanist, was profiled in the *New York Times* in 2004 for his contributions to the trees and landscapes of Princeton University; and Moment, who illustrated the front wrap of *And Touch*, went on to illustrate children’s books. Exceptionally scarce.
