(Peterborough, NH: Windy Row Press, 1969. First Edition. S...)
Peterborough, NH: Windy Row Press, 1969. First Edition. Signed, with lengthy inscription, and dated by the author in 1969. Octavo, 70 pp. Decorated paper-covered boards, pictorial jacket illustrated by Jeanne Caskie. Near fine book, pristine but for a few annotations in-text by the presentee, Marion Brown. Jacket is also near fine, and un-clipped, with just a bit of dust at the covers. Vermont farm-raised Ruth Rasey Simpson crystallizes and enshrines that green state in verse, after having done so in non-fiction in her earlier Out of the Saltbox: the Savour of Old Vermont. Lengthy, warm inscription to a friend from "poetry times" is also dated in the year of publication. Nice, collectible copy in every way. l50n
