Diving Into the Wreck: Poems 1971-1972
NY, Norton, 1973. An advance copy of her National Book Award-winning collection. Four long, folded galley sheets of the title page and prelims, together with 62 typeset page proofs of the text of the book, and a photocopy of what appears to be the jacket copy. The text has a Post-It stating "Duplicate Set/Do Not Return This Lot." Corner creases; some edge-tanning; near fine. Comparison with a first paperback printing (included) reveals several small changes, although not to the poems themselves, only to the dedications and, most notably, the epigraph, which are by Andre Breton and George Eliot in the book, but by Natalya Gorbanyevskaya in the proofs. Extremely scarce; only two or three such sets would be likely to have been produced in the course of creating and publishing this book.
