[Charles Agvent]

Price reduced to $95 NET

RUKEYSER, Muriel. WAKE ISLAND. Garden City: Doubleday, Doran & Co., 
Inc., 1942. First Edition. Printed rose wraps, the second and much more 
common binding. This copy has laid into it a letter from the publisher 
dated 7 August 1942 announcing the publication of this volume and 
presenting it to the recipient. In part: "In WAKE ISLAND may be found 
the hopes and aspirations of a militant youth who fight to make men 
free." An early if not the first book of American poetry published whose 
primary subject matter is World War II. Wake Island, attacked on the 
same day as Pearl Harbor, was the site of the first Japanese defeat of 
the war, though Japan would take the island later that month. Fine.
