New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1967. 2nd Printing. Hardcover. Near fine/very good +. The second printing of the first US edition, octavo size, 98 pp. Sylvia Plath (1932-1963), an extraordinarily talented poet, continues to both inspire and fascinate almost 60 years after her suicide. This work, "The Colossus", was the only book of her poetry which was published before her death (the first edition, published in the UK in 1960).
The great Irish poet Seamus Heaney famously said of this work "On every page, a poet is serving notice that she has earned her credentials and knows her trade" (n.b., quote from "The Indefatigable Hoof-taps: Sylvia Plath" published in 1988).
___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full bright green cloth over boards, poet's initials embossed on the front board within a debossed rectangle, dark green lettering debossed on the spine, top edge stained red; octavo size (8.5" by 5.5"), pagination: [i-xii] [1-2] 3-84, [1, author bio] [1, colophon]. In the publisher's dust jacket showing the original price of $4.00 on the front flap, front panel and spine of blue with white lettering, rear panel white with blue lettering (the poem "Watercolor of Grantchester Meadows"), front flap with review blurbs, rear flap the author bio.
___CONDITION: Volume is near fine, with clean boards, straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; a couple of very small spots of soil on the boards, else fine. The unclipped dust jacket better than very good, clean with some light dustiness to the white back panel, a small amount of overall edgewear most noticeable at the head of the spine.
___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details.
