Description
Iowa City, IA: Stone Wall Press, 1960. First edition. One of only 20 copies on Rives Heavy, a French mould made paper and bound in full leather, out of a total of 200 copies printed. Berger 8. Dana Gioia has chronicled Kees's posthumous reputation, noting that "Kees's stature among poets has risen steadily since 1960 when Iowa City's fledgling Stone Wall Press posthumously published his Collected Poems in a hand-printed edition of 200 copies. The volume received an extraordinary amount of attention for a fine press book of verse, especially one by a dead Nebraskan poet of limited reputation. The Collected Poems earned substantial notices in the New York Times Book Review, The Hudson Review, Partisan Review, Poetry, The New York Herald Tribune, and Saturday Review. The book's positive reception, however, displayed two significant features that would become constants in restricting Kees's subsequent audience. First, his champions were nearly all poets. Second, the collection they praised was virtually impossible to obtain; its small print run, high price, and severely limited distribution placed it outside the normal channels for trade books." Gioia, the current head of the National Endowment for the Arts and the author of the influential collection of essays Can Poetry Matter? Essays on Poetry and American Culture (1992), finds in Kees a paradigm of the place, or displacement, of poetry in contemporary American academia and culture, observing that "it appears that as Kees's' fame among poets grows ever larger his already marginal critical reputation shrinks further.... The disparity between the legion of imaginative writers who admire Kees's work and paucity of academic interest demonstrates that there is something now oddly out of joint between the worlds of poets and literary critics." - Dana Gioia, "The Cult of Weldon Kees", Dana Gioia Online. A very fine copy of this rare issue of one of the most beautiful books from the Stone Wall Press, and still the definitive edition of the poet's work, in the rare slipcase which is slightly, faintly stained. 8vo, full black morocco with blind-stamped initials ("WK") on front cover and gilt lettering on spine, publisher's slipcase. A very fine copy of this rare issue of one of the most beautiful books from the Stone Wall Press, and still the definitive edition of the poet's work, in the rare slipcase which is slightly, faintly stained.

""The language at once sears and sings. The process of continuous genocide which we call history finds in this novel both a challenge and a response"" (Vinson, 877).

Age toning. The covers have minor stains and missing surface litho.
Description
Queens, NY: PS19, Jun-41. Age toning. The covers have minor stains and missing surface litho.. A memoir book presented to Rose A. Maguire, an elementary school teacher, upon her retirement in June 1951. She taught at a school located in Queens, NY called PS 19 Corona (now known as Marino Jeantet Elementary). The memoir book features over fifty pages of short notes, poetry, cards, photographs and art work from her fellow teachers. The first page of the album features a cut of out of a newspaper clipping describing her retirement party, and over the next few pages there are several photographs of PS 19, her fellow teachers, and her students, as well as two guest lists. The first is a list of the teachers who attended her retirement party, while the second list appears to be the signatures of the students in her class. The rest of the book is made up of entries from her fellow teachers. While there are a few retirement cards pasted in, the majority of the entries are hand written notes or original poems that are quite often accompanied by drawings or cutouts. The poems are quite humorous, for example one note is addressed to note to a 'soon to be ex-chalk pusher', while another states that while they weren't well acquainted, there was one place that they always met. That location is made clear with a colorful drawing of an occupied outhouse surrounded by flowers and bees. Several of the poems are pictographs, for example, in one poem where most of the last words (book, ruler, blackboard, etc) in a poetry line have been replaced with a picture. (See photographs). The notes often make reference to Rose retiring to a 'cottage by the sea', most likely located in Asbury Park, NJ. The album itself is bound together while string and features a small floral design on the coves. Measures 11 1/2" x 8 1/2". Below are a few excerpts from the entries.: "Our Rose bloomed in a class room Where many bright years were spent, Guiding out City's children On education bent." -C. A. Kromann "When next September rolls around, It won't have that old familiar sound Of alarm bell at 7, and dismissal bell at 3, Of prattling children, busy as bees, But you'll be making jollier plans Than programs, duty, and coaching for "exams", Your plans will all for leisure be, And fun in your cottage by the sea." - Mildred W. Plank, June 16, 1941 "No more pencils, no more books. No more children's discouraging looks: Papers, reports no longer du, What a pleasure is awaiting you!" - Antoinette Kess To view the item, please click on the following link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/a87aBafUWRu5W6XD9. Rose Ann Maguire (alternatively spelled in the memoir book as Mcguire, Macguire) was born on October 1, 1872 to John Maguire (1842-1900) and Julia Hall (1843-1927) in New York. She had at least one sibling, a sister, Margaret Maguire (1878-1924?). Her sister married William Henry Ayres (1877-1958) and had one child together, Margaret Gurney Ayres (1909-2004). Rose's niece, who often went by Gureny Ayres, lived and worked with Rose in Queens, NY. Rose herself never married. They both worked at at PS19 Corona, and after Rose retired in June of 1941, both moved to Asbury Park, NJ. The date and time of Rose's death is unknown.

Barreiro y Ramos, prominent booksellers and publishers of Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay. Their publications included books relating to law and to parliament. Brazil enjoyed a remarkable period of rapid material progress and international importance during under Emperors Pedro I and, especially, Pedro II, who reigned from 1831 to 1891. The government enacted a law in 1823 calling for the gradual replacement of the Portuguese Ordenacoes with codes informed by the Enlightenment ideas of the eighteenth century and the work of Jeremy Bentham. A Projecto for commercial law was published in 1836, another in 1838. The code was enacted in 1850 and its first two editions were published in 1858 and 1869. The third and later editions (1886, 1896) are the best because they contain extensive commentary. All of these early editions are rare. OCLC locates 1 copy of the 1878 edition in North America (at the New York Public Library). Another copy located at the Library of Congress. British Museum Catalogue (Compact Edition) 4:32.

Production credits, an "Orion Pictures" logo and the PG rating are all listed below as well. The film depicts the life of a young black boy in the Martinique in the '30s and gives an impressionist view of life in the French colony and of the uneasy coexistence between the two worlds of the descendants of slaves, kept in a de facto economic slavery, and of the békés (whites). It was written and directed by Euzhan Palcy, a French-Martinican woman whose films are known to explore themes of race, gender, and politics, with an emphasis on the perpetuated effects of colonialism. She is the first black director to win a César Award and the Venice Film Festival's Silver Lion, both for Sugar Cane Alley. Rolled, and in very good condition.

He reports on a meeting held with the contractors building a road from Sturbridge to Southbridge, and expresses concern over confusion about terms of the contract and weather delays in progress despite promises from those in charge of the job. "I have this morning visited some of the road contractors...and they think they will be ready to receive a visit from the County Comr...I think they will not, but possibly if there is no wet weather they may have completed their contract to their own satisfaction...I am not however without fears that some of them in some points will fall short of the requirements contained in their contracts...." He feels the Southbridge Committee will back him in his views. Hiram Wheelock, born in Charlton in 1794, settled early in Sturbridge. He moved to Boston in 1839 where he died in 1857. He was actively interested in the State Militia, and was for many years a Colonel in the Force. William Crawford (1745-1833), whose County Commission was in charge of building roads, railroads, canals and other internal improvements at the very beginning of the industrial revolution in Massachusetts, was a Brig. General in the Massachusetts militia. Crawford was also a clockmaker, and Oakham Town Clerk and Selectman, as well as a War of 1812 veteran.

Description
Mattapan Station, Boston: Hammer & Steel, 1964. Five issues of the mimeographed newsletter, various formats, generally 4 to 6 pages per issue; some issues are fold-creased, have handling wear or soil, or have uneven toning. Issues present are April, July, October 1964; January 1965; and Nov/Dec. 1966. Also included is a four-panel leaflet in similar format, publishing a message to the editors from a group of students at Oberlin in October 1967. Homer Chase, a Maoist, created Hammer and Steel under the organizational name of the New England Party of Labor. Aside from critiques of the Communist Party USA and discussion of Marxist-Leninist politics, there is some early protest against the Vietnam War, the 1964 Civil Rights bill, etc. George Thayer wrote in 1968: "The smallest New Left group is the New England Party of Labor which publishes Hammer and Steel, a mimeographed sheet that some people believe expresses 'pure Maoist views.' The man behind the organization is Homer Chase from New Hampshire. He wants to have a hammer and sickle carved on his father's headstone and has been fighting the town fathers for years on this issue. 'This headstone seems more important to Homer than anything else,' says critic Communist Gus Hall. 'But he gets written up by the press as a big factor in the Sino-Soviet split.' For once perhaps Gus Hall is right." -- from The Farther Shores of Politics, 2nd edition (1968), p.433.
