About This Item
Winston-Salem: Palaemon Press Limited. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1979. Signed, Limited Edition. Hardcover. The front board has some splay, as many, if not most, copies do.; Twelve previously unpublished "translations" of poems by other poets, selected by Dickey and each rewritten by him as an homage and to add his unique perspective to the retelling. Most poems are in a non-linear form: the formatting, word spacing, and line justification are varied and are as essential to the poem as the text. One of an unnumbered limited edition of 475 copies. Elaborately signed by author on the colophon. In polished gray buckram over boards, with title and author framed on a cream-colored paper label to front. No dust jacket, as-issued. In 1977, Stuart Wright founded the Palaemon Press Limited, Winston Salem, North Carolina, USA to publish works by Southern authors. Most books are the first appearance, or first separate, printing, of the works. Clean inside and out, sharp cornered, and would be Fine, but for the splay. About Near Fine condition. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 26,[1] pages; Signed by Author .
