Depth of Field

First edition of the poet's first book. Inscribed "in the spirit of poetry against obscenity" on title page. Green board with gilt title on spine. Unclipped dust jacket now wrapped in Brodart.With 1/2" stain to top of fore edge. William Heyen is "one towering bookwright. He is seven bloodshot feet with a wingspan that cowls the postwar world. He has composed the definitive poetry on the Holocaust, on Hiroshima, on the Gulf War, on Native American genocide, on the dying planet, on 9/11, on Walt Whitman . . . I'll call him The Poet." I have many titles from the still prolific and Brockport, NY poet. 62pages.
