From our new catalog containing much scarce poetry:
(KEES, Weldon) LAUGHLIN, James (editor). NEW DIRECTIONS IN PROSE &
POETRY 1941. Norfolk, CT: New Directions, 1941. First Edition. Red cloth
with paper spine label. A thick volume with over 700 pages, the red
cloth is considered the second issue, but it's possible that this is a
contributor's copy as it belonged to the poet Weldon Kees and is SIGNED
by him on the front endpaper and dated Denver 1942. Kees has four poems
in the book which predates his first book, THE LAST MAN (1943). Other
contributors include John Berryman, Ezra Pound, Delmore Schwartz, etc.
Paper spine label wrinkled, spine a bit sunned. Very Good, lacking the
dustwrapper. (#020886) $1,000
