The author speaks perhaps of his own duality (a la Orson and Valentine) in the opening work "Apology": "These uneasy verses are some of the spasmodic gestures which each of me has made, during the last few years, in an attempt to usurp a unity at the cost of the other. Something archaic, uncouth, and even barbarous is very obvious in one, and the other is an hysterically self-conscious dandy."
Item #9005717-1/8 x 10-18", 1/2 white cloth, blue paper over boards, 33pp, deckled edges.
Modest soiling and a bit of bumping to edges and corners of boards, toning to first free endpaper, internally clean and crisp, a very good + copy overall.
