Item description from seller

Pictorial wraps. One of 300 copies of the poet's third book, preceding his first trade book, TURTLE, SWAN, by 6 years. In fact, Doty co-wrote several books with his then-wife, Ruth, before his first trade book was published. SIGNED by Doty on the title page and dated soon after publication: 1/25/82. In addition, Doty has INSCRIBED the half-title page, nearly filling it: "for Paul/w nostalgia/for summer monarchy/in the middle of the/winter of generalized/discontent,/having had enough/(but not quite -- still/hoping)--/with love,/cookies,/and furniture,/Mark." Some rubbing and fading to the front cover. Very Good.
