NY, Knopf, 1998. The uncorrected proof copy of this narrative in the form of a single long poem. This copy belonged to Peter Matthiessen and is well-read and annotated by Matthiessen, predominantly in the "Climb" and "The Mountain" sections. Thumbed-through, with stained covers; phone number written on front cover. Good in wrappers. Matthiessen and Merwin were longtime friends. [#032502] SOLD
