First edition. Orange cloth w/ paper label; Large 8vo. No. 543 of 550 total signed copies, although it seems much less common than that. Lechlitner was a prominent leftist poet of the 30's and 40's, married to Paul Corey noted for his Iowa trilogy of novels. They were early ecologists in upstate New York and later in Sonoma, CA where this book was inscribed by Lichtner to Left critic Maxwell Geismar in 1969. (Wald EXILES FROM A FUTURE TIME pp. 234-238.) Corners lightly worn, else about fine with a few inkmarks, mostly corrections to the text. (No dustjacket - as issued?) Poet's first book. Scarce. The Alcestis Press only lasted a few years, but published Robert Penn Warren, William Carlos Williams, Allan Tate and Wallace Stevens among others; usually numbering 165 copies. Considering Lechlitner's book seems to be among the scarcest it seems possible that Latimore failed to print the stated number. Signed.
