Published by Alan Swallow, Denver, 1951. First edition. Hardcover, printed boards. Very Good+ in Good dust jacket, split at spine and rear panel.
First book by this California poet and one time president of the California Federation of Chaparral poets.
Inscribed by the author to “Helen Luster / holding tomorrow / like a lantern / against the surrounding / dark reaches” Luster was founder and president of the Los Angeles Poetry Center, was also for a time Allen Ginsberg’s personal secretary, and was also a student of parapsychology and was a member of seance and crystal groups.
Nice association between two leading women poets of the LA scene of the time.
