SOME NATURAL THINGS
Norfolk, CT: New Directions, 1945. First Edition. Hardcover. First edition. 47 pp. Gray-green cloth in dj. Printed by Carroll Coleman at his Prairie Press. Briefly inscribed on the front free endpaper to George Leite; signed "J Laughlin". Leite was (as was Laughlin in New York) at the very center (literally with his Daliels Bookstore and his literary journal Circle) of the West Coast avant garde. Cloth spine cocked and faded, the dust jacket lightly and evenly toned, with a few short tears and minor loss. Overall very good. Nice association connecting two notable mid-century avant garde publishers. This was Laughlin's second collection of poetry. Very good - / very good -. Item #7107
