[Signed] [First Edition] Selected Poems, inscribed by Frost at Amherst to a student in the year of publication Robert Frost [Used - Good] [Hardcover]
1685.18 CAD
This first edition, first printing, of the first volume selection of Frost's published work is inscribed by Frost to a student at Amherst in the year of publication. Frost's inscription is inked in black in five lines on the upper front free endpaper recto: "For Elbridge Sibley from Robert Frost Amherst November 1923". The printed bookplate of "Elizabeth AND Elbridge Sibley" is affixed to the front pastedown. Condition is good plus, sound and complete, though showing some honest age and superficial wear. The quarter cloth spine shows dulled but still clearly legible gilt and shelf wear at the ends. The paper-covered boards, with their repeating gilt wreath design, remain bright, though with minor overall soiling and scuffing, and heavier rubbing to the corners, exposing the card beneath. The contents are mildly age-toned, but free of spotting. The dull green top stain retains uniform hue.This first edition of Selected Poems was published on 15 March 1923. "Frost was originally against the idea of a volume of selected poems; he wanted his new books of poetry to have priority, and he believed reviewers would see such a collection only as a plea for attention. In contrast, reviews primarily praised Selected Poems and found the volume important as the first selection of his published work." For the volume, Frost selected forty-three poems, all but one from A Boy's Will (1913), North of Boston (1914), and Mountain Interval (1916). The only previously unpublished poem in the volume is "The Runaway" which appeared in New Hampshire, published exactly eight months after Selected Poems, on 15 November 1923 the same month this volume was inscribed.Amherst, where Frost inscribed this copy, was home to Frost for the better part of two decades over a span of more than three. He joined the faculty in 1917 and received an honorary M.A. from Amherst the following year. He left Amherst in 1920, but returned in 1923 the year this copy of Selected Poems was published and inscribed there by him for a student for another two years. Frost again returned to Amherst College in 1926, remaining until 1938. Following Frost's death in 1963, his public service was held at Amherst's Johnson Chapel.Elbridge Sibley (1903-1994), was a student at Amherst when Frost inscribed this volume for him. Sibley earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Amherst in 1924, from which he went on to earn his Masters in 1925, followed by his Ph.D. from Columbia in 1930. From 1932-1946, Sibley taught Sociology at Bowdoin College, which eventually established and still maintains The Elbridge Sibley Prize in his name, awarded to an academically outstanding senior majoring in Sociology or Anthropology. Sibley also worked for the U.S. Bureau of the Budget and served on the President's Committee on Selective Service during the Second World War, and thereafter administered fellowship programs of the Social Science Research Council for more than a quarter of a century.Iconic American poet Robert...

Mazzaro A3. Originally published the previous year, following the rare privately printed Land of Unlikeness (1944), collecting ten poems rewritten from that first book and thirty-two new poems composed after Lowell's release from prison, for refusing, on pacifistic grounds, to serve in the military during the Second World War. "The new poems focused on the destructiveness of war, the corruption of modern society, and the desire for Christian faith. The book was a literary sensation. It received the Pulitzer prize and a series of glowing reviews by the most prominent poetry critics in the United States and Great Britain. His friend Randall Jarrell concluded his review in The Nation by saying, 'One or two of these poems, I think, will be read as long as men remember English.' Overnight, Lowell was a major poet and a spokesperson for his generation. . . . In the volume's best poems, such as "At the Indian Killer's Grave", "Children of Light", "Colloquy in Black Rock", "Concord", "In the Cage", "Mr. Edwards and the Spider", "The Quaker Graveyard in Nantucket", "Rebellion" and "Where the Rainbow Ends," Lowell makes something poetically new out of a diverse array of literary, political, and cultural elements.
