About This Item
New York: Macmillan, 1921. First Edition 8vo size brown cloth spine with gilt titles over lighter brown boards; title block laid in on front cover; 65 creamy pages. Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869 - 1935) was an American poet. He won three Pulitzer Prizes during a six year period. Collected Poems (1921 edition) earned Robinson his first Pulitzer Prize. This volume was his first published work after that. That was followed by Pulitzer Prizes for The Man Who Died Twice in 1925 and Tristram in 1928. An oft told story of Robinson concerns his given names: Robinson's parents, hoping for a girl to join their family which already included two boys, had not only failed to choose a boy's name, but hadn't named him at all. During a visit to a resort when he was six months old, other vacationers chided them for not naming the child. They suggested names and a woman, from Arlington, Massachusetts, drew the name Edwin from a hat. Bumped corners and one worn corner. Fray at top of spine. Some handling marks on blank fep and pencilled numbers on rear endpapers. Sunned margin across top of book. We have another volume of Robinson's listed separately. Thanks for shopping with us! 100% of your purchase benefits charity and supports literacy and lifelong learning.. First. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
