Middletown, CT: Wesleyan University Press, (1968). First edition. Presentation copy to the poet Mark Strand, with a lengthy inscription on the front free endpaper: "Dear Mark, Now don't you think this is a tasty cover? Actually the colors suit me. As you can see on the inside of the jacket the price is $4.00 [with arrow to price], but if you turn the book over it's only $2.00, which is to say that's all it's worth after you've read it. You drive a book around the block & it loses half its value. I hope you like it. Love, Phil. Fine copy in lightly sunned, somewhat rubbed jacket with a bit of wear to the extremities. 8vo, original cloth, dust jacket.
