Collector's Notes

The 1979 copyright page identifies this as the First Owl Book Edition. It continued a comprehensive collection assembled under editor Edward Connery Lathem.

The volume contains the collected poems of one of the central American poets of the twentieth century. It suits a reader building a serious poetry shelf as well as someone collecting Robert Frost editions.

The 607 page hardcover keeps the collection together in a substantial clothbound volume, and this copy retains its illustrated dust jacket.

The clean, unmarked pages make this a copy that can be comfortably read rather than simply kept on a shelf.
