Sobre este artículo
New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1961. First Edition of the author's First Book. Inscribed and signed by Ms. Kumin to the well known photographer Roger Kingston. This copy was meant for review and has the publisher's presentation slip laid in. 8vo, publisher's original black cloth over off-white boards lettered in gilt on the spine with decorative motif in black on the upper cover, in the original dust jacket. 106 pp. A very fine copy. INSCRIBED FIRST EDITION, WITH PUBLISHER'S REVIEW SLIP LAID IN. “Halfway is composed of forty short poems-both lyric and dramatic-conveying a deeply felt admiration for the strength and courage within the human being. A junior life-saving class, a movie with Bogart and Bergman, a subway ride home, the first spring rain-these simple experiences are transformed through Maxine Kumin’s insight into deeply moving poems.”-Publisher
