73 Poems by E.E. Cummings

FIRST EDITION [1963] HARCOURT BRACE & WORLD

Hardcover with dust jacket in very good condition. Custom restored ex-library copy.

Dust jacket is in good shape with some visible wear; a few small sealed edge tears; and corner crease to rear; catalog sticker on spine. Now housed in a new HD brodart jacket protector.

Book itself is very good. Some wear to cloth on spine. Near immaculate boards with just a tiny spot on rear. Pages are clean, white and read almost good as new! Small spot of discoloration on front endpape. Overall, a very nice, clean and crisp copy that does not show its age.

Four months after Cummings's death in September 1962, his widow, the photographer Marion Morehouse, collected the typescripts of 29 new poems. These poems, as well as uncollected poems published only in periodicals up to that time, make up 73 Poems.
