About This Item
New York: John Day Company, 1934. Hardcover. Very good. Bright Ambush won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1935, when Wurdemann was only 24 years old, making her the youngest recipient of the award.
[xvi], 76, [4] pages. First edition (first printing). A very good copy in the publisher's green cloth; lacking the uncommon dust jacket. This copy belonged to the Harlem Renaissance poet Countee Cullen, with his ownership signature on the front free endpaper. Several poems have blue pencil checks in the margin, sometimes next to the title; other times next to a specific line, like "But a brook that runs over and nibbles its shadow" (p. 63).
