Complete Poems Kenneth Fearing; Robert M. Ryley (Ed.); Alice Neel (Frontispiece)

Paperback variant. 8vo. Wrappers. pp.[iv], lxvi, 310, [iv] (blank) + frontispiece. With back cover quotations by Kenneth Rexroth and Carl Rakosi: 'Fearing's language, which is what you would have heard in a newsroom in the Middle West in the 1930's [sic], plain and ordinary, has a cadence, a music of its own, not borrowed from any English or French literary models, or any other, that's distinctively American.' Mild signs of wear only, the wrappers slightly shelfworn, the upper corner gently bumped at the rear.
