Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good to Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Issued Without Jacket. Betty Martin (illustratore). First Edition. The primary literary interest in Crombie's little book of poetry is John Gardner, the sometimes controversial upstate NY author of "Grendel," "The Sunlight Dialogues" and "On Moral Fiction." He wrote the preface for the retired schoolteacher's (and Gardner's aunt) book in the year before he died in a motorcycle accident in Pennsylvania. First Edition, First Printing. About 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches, 55 pages bound in white, lightweight card with a black & white drawing of a woman and small tree on the edge of a body of water on the front cover, a small black & white photo of Crombie and a blurb from Gardner on the back. Covers show a touch of edge wear and a bit of light scraching (doesn't break the covers' surface), o/w covers are clean with no creases, bumped corners or tears. Laid-in is a folded and yellowing newspaper article from the Batavia (NY) Daily News for Oct. 12, 1981, reporting the publication of the book and the relationship between Crombie and Gardner. The acids in the aging clipping have stained a rectangular area about 4 x 7 on the volume's title page, o/w the text is clean, unmarked and complete and without tears, creasing or other flaws. As Gardner notes in his preface, these poems are not all sweetness and light; there is tragedy and death as well. "The message is everything: this is the life she lived, saw, felt, a personal presentation, not an elaborate artifice for tourists to gawk at." A quite scarce piece of the Gardner archive.
