8vo, [22] pages, 26cm, Designed and printed by Will Carter at the Rampant Lions Press, Cambridge, for David R. Godine, Publisher, Boston, 1974. Set in Palatino and printed in reddish-brown on Glastonbury Sage Antique paper. Number 36 of only 160 copies, signed on the limitation page by both Richard Wilbur and Charles Wadsworth. One double-page and two full-page inserted etchings in many colors. Bound by John P. Gray in wrappers using marbled paper by Ingeborg Borjeson, predominantly in shades of green, with matching case. Pristine.
This is the first separate printing of Richard Wilbur’s homage to Robert Frost which first appeared in “The New Yorker”. Though well-known amongst his ‘perfectly formed poems’, the edition is now difficult to locate and this is perfect copy.
From the library of the important American poet Frank Bidart, who received the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, the Griffin Poetry Prize Lifetime Recognition Award, and the 2017 National Book Award for Poetry for his book Half-light: Collected Poems 1965–2016.
