The Ring: Poems 1956–69.

Juillard Editions, 1970. Item #4212

Side-stapled, mimeograph. Cover by Joe Brainard. This was the first and only book published under the imprint Juillard Editions, edited by Trevor Winkfield in Leeds, England. As Winkfield recalls in conversation with Miles Champion, "I'd loved Harry's poems since being a student in London, even traipsing to various dusty (and ill-lit) research libraries to copy them out by hand. The horrors of the pre-Xerox era! Harry's poems are totally unlike anyone else's, and they'd been lying around for fifteen years without anyone having the gumption to ask Harry if he'd like them collected and published" (Poetry Society of America). 

Very good, with toning, scuffing, and some foxing to covers.

Price: $75.00
