POETS OF TODAY VII [Into the Stone and Other Poems]
New York: Scribner, 1960. First edition. Hardcover. Decorated cloth in dust jacket. Inscribed to publisher and bibliographer Stuart Wright with Dickey's signature flourish. Regarded as Dickey's first book, though the annual series included "books" of three poets. A very good copy in a toned and lightly worn at edges very good dust jacket (one short teat at rear spine fold. Bruccoli A1.1 (In removable protective archival covers.). Very good / very good. Item #11606
Exceptional association: Wright published over 300 books and broadsides of mostly Southern Writers including Dickey at his Palaemon Press; his author collections are in a number of Southern institutions. Dickey's signature is somewhat common, but this is a uncommon book in collectible condition, and scarce signed, certainly as an association copy.
