Title: The Morning of the Poem
Author: SCHUYLER, James
Seller: James S. Jaffe Rare Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Fine copy in slightly sunned jacket
Description: N. Y.: Farrar Straus & Giroux, (1980). First edition of Schuyler's Pulitzer Prize-winning collection, which was dedicated to the artist Darragh Park. Presentation copy, inscribed by Schuyler to Barbara Guest: "for Barbara all love Jimmy Feb. 1980". The Morning of the Poem, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1981 in part owing to the advocacy of John Ashbery, one of the judges, earned Schuyler a wider and more appreciative audience. A "poet of warm benediction and praise", Schuyler was "prone to psychotic fits (and) spent much of his adult life in and out of psychiatric institutions". It is not therefore surprising that his poetry is devoted to the "celebration of ordinary pleasures." As Lehman further observes, "Like few other poets, he committed himself to the task of painting what's there and only what's there. In his poems accuracy of observation is raised to a high form of praise. The natural or manmade particulars of the world are celebrated not so much for their utility as for their virtue in merely being." - Lehman, p. 273. As Ashbery put it, "He makes sense, dammit, and he manages to do so without falsifying or simplifying the daunting complexity of life as we are living it today. Fine copy in slightly sunned jacket. 8vo, original cloth-backed boards, dust jacket. Fine copy in slightly sunned jacket.

Title: Argument Without End: In Search of Answers to the Vietnam Tragedy
Author: McNamara, Robert S.; James G. Blight, Robert K. Brigham, et al.
Seller: Burnside Rare Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: New York: PublicAffairs, 1999. Near Fine/Fine. First edition, second printing. Association copy signed by Robert S. McNamara on the front free endpaper and inscribed to former Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach "To Lydia and Nick, two of my dearest friends, with immense admiration and great affection," with date 5/22/99. xxiii, [5], 479, [2] pp. Near Fine with light wear and edge toning to covers, slight bumping to corners, and several tiny stains to upper edge of textblock. In Fine unclipped dust jacket. Robert McNamara served as the United States Secretary of Defense from 1961 to 1968, a period that saw the intensification of American involvement in the Vietnam War. This book, his attempt at a postmortem of the tragedy, is inscribed to someone else whose name is linked with a tragedy of the 1960s: Nicholas Katzenbach, whose time working for the Kennedy and Johnson administrations overlapped with McNamara's. On November 25, 1963, three days after Kennedy's assassination, Katzenbach sent a memo to the new President's assistant in which he declared that the public must be satisfied that Lee Harvey Oswald was the assassin, and that speculation as to the man's motives must be cut off. When what is now called "The Katzenbach Memo" was released by the National Archives in 1994, it fueled the longstanding claims that Kennedy's assassination had been a conspiracy that was immediately covered up by the authorities. A meaningful association copy from the Katzenbach estate, testifying to the deep friendship between two men who played key roles in mid-20th century US political history.
