[Rarebooks] For Sale: Fearing's "Dead Reckoning," inscribed

[Norman Kane]

FEARING, KENNETH.   DEAD RECKONING. A BOOK OF POETRY.    N. Y.: 
Random House, (1938).   First printing.  Original cloth, end papers 
with paste bleed-through, a very good copy in a worn but largely 
complete dust wrapper.
WITH A SIGNED INSCRIPTION: "To --?--, We're still on our way  -  when 
?  Kenneth Fearing."   Nelson Algren's perceptive if somewhat 
politically oriented review (in the "Sunday Worker")  laid 
in.     Signed copies are quite scarce.
(Poetry  unlike anything being written today: Dos Passos out of 
Whitman and tinctured with despair, rage, irony, sarcasm, capital 
letters,  melancholy, prophecy and politics:  really quite wonderful 
in a way.)     $350.00
