[Rarebooks] FS: Charles Simic: POEMS 1967 - 1982, one of only 10 signed copies

[Charles Agvent]

SIMIC,  Charles. POEMS 1967 - 1982. WEATHER FORECAST FOR  UTOPIA &
VICINITY.  (Barrytown,  NY): Station Hill (1983). First  Edition.  Red
cloth  with gilt lettering. There were only 53 copies issued in cloth,
this  being  one  of  only ten SIGNED copies  with  a  roman  numeral.
According  to the colophon page, these copies were to have an original
drawing  bound  in,  but we have personally handled four  of  the  ten
copies,  and  none  of those, including this one, has had  a  drawing.
Apparently  Simic  had intended to do the drawings but never felt  the
requisite  inspiration  to do so. In addition to signing the  colophon
page,  the  poet has also dated it 21 January 1984. Slight  foxing  to
top  edge  of  bulked text. Still Fine,  issued  without  dustwrapper.
                                                                $300.00
