Sobre este artículo
Poughkeepsie, NY: Vassar College, 1960. First Edition. Broadside. Light crease to bottom corners. Fine. Large (10-1/4" x 14") broadside on heavy paper printed in black and red. A tribute to Archibald MacLeish's mother, once president of Rockford College in Illinois. Uncommon, not to be confused with the rather common 1949 biography with the same title.
Archibald MacLeish was not only a well-known poet but also served as Librarian of Congress, appointed by Franklin Roosevelt, a position he used to reorganize and promote the institution. In addition to winning three Pulitzer Prizes, MacLeish was commissioned by the NEW YORK TIMES to write a poem to celebrate the Apollo 11 moon landing, which he entitled "Voyage to the Moon" and which appeared on the front page of the 21 July 1969 edition of the paper.
