Overland to the Islands
Highlands, Jonathan Williams, 1958. The "Author's Edition" of this early collection of poetry, her fourth book, printed as Jargon 19. One of 50 copies, of a total edition of 500. While the remains of this edition were later, in 1964, signed by Levertov on the front flap of the dust jacket and sold as a signed limited edition, this copy is without jacket, probably as issued in 1958, and is instead inscribed by Levertov: "Love to Don from Denise" on the first blank -- an actual "author's copy," as the colophon states. Fine in plain white wrappers. A Levertov, and Jargon, rarity. [#023539] $300
