Sobre este artículo
First edition, first printing of his second book - the first commercially published, one of 1200 copies. Robinson's first effort, Flagons and Apples, was published at his expense in 1912. Here, the still burgeoning poet continues to find and hone his proverbial voice.
Original blue cloth, top edge gilt, spine ends lightly bumped, else Fine, the leaves largely unopened. In the fairly uncommon jacket - tiny chips along the edges, a couple of short closed tears, moderate dustiness, spine a bit darkened, rubbing along folds. Withal, a Very Good example of the simple yet elegant jacket. Housed in a quarter leather slipcase.
"…beyond the romanticization of rural California life, Jeffers provides a wider-ranging vision of the human future…resigned, prepared even, to accept the changes and confusion the future must bring…Jeffers foresees a radically altered future including space travel; he even predicts the human harnessing of the energy of the solar system.
As a chilling, cautionary note, he also writes of the eventual extinction of the human race. This side of such a fate, Jeffers would have man realize, as he writes in Dream of the Future, that human beings are only one small facet to a wondrously intact universe."
