About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1989. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/very good. Octavo, 284 pages, yellow clothbacked boards, red remainder mark on the bottom edge
Hine, who edited Poetry Magazine from 1968-1978, here tells his biography in four poetical chapters. "On one level, IN AND OUT can be read as an abosrbing and well-told autobiographical verse novel. But sewn within its narrative texture like a hidden lining is an elaborate design, a meditation upon the major conflicts of opposites in life and literature; spirit and nature, Christian and pagan, the sacred and the profane, time and eternity, change and continuity, freedom and obedience. It is a confession and a fictional artifice, a satire and a pastoral elegy on the death of a friend, a deeply moving yet often very funny poem." - Northrop Frye.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
