About this Item

Wright's first book, published while still a student at Oberlin. This a presentation copy to John Logan, a friend of his father's (one of the Sixties poets gathered around Bly's magazine--Wright, Kinnell, Ignatow, Hall, Simpson, et al.). Inscribed to Logan, "whose many great poems I have admired for a long time, in thanks for your friendship, and in hope that you won't be too hard on these first misshapen efforts. Franz, March 1980." Also, Wright has crossed out the last eleven lines of one poem, and replaced them with four. Numbered (205 of 250) and signed on colophon page. Wrappers are discolored as usual, with a couple of spots of (Logan's?) coffee.
