Description
Jarrell, Randall. Selected Poems. London: Faber & Faber, 1954. Proof Copy (First Edition). Card Wrappers. Very Good. 192pp. Publisher’s compliments slip laid in. Some text-block sections toned. Pale blue printed covers sunned and slightly worn at head & tail of spine. “Selected Poems Jarrell” in ink on spine as well as “12/6, Spring 1955” in faint pencil on front cover (although the date on the imprint is 1954 & the eventual publication date was actually 1956). This proof essentially reprints the US edition without its introduction & so differs in poem order & actual contents from what became the UK edition. Scarce.
