Red cloth in dust jacket; 8vo. Uncommon cloth issue of the Syrian-born poet's first book published in the US. Signed by Adonis on the title page. Translated by Samuel Hazo. Adonis has long been on the shortlist for the Nobel Prize which only one Arabic writer the novelist Mahfouz has won. This copy very lightly rubbed and soiled, but still essentially fine. Scarce signed.
