About This Item
Middletown: Wesleyan University Press, 1971. First edition. Cloth. Very Good/very good +. Tall clothbound octavo in dustwrapper. 215 pp. Contains the complete poems from his first six volumes of poetry beginning with The Green Wall. INSCRIBED by Wright on the title page "Dear Michael, Up with true criticism! - Jim Wright". A very good copy in handsome price-intact dustwrapper. This copy has been heavily annotated in light pencil throughout the book (presumably by the person to which this book was inscribed). A book rarely found signed or inscribed. This clearly was a meaningful association between poet and scholar.
