Published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1969 The hardcover copy is the first edition, first printing (so stated on the copyright page). An important collection by a major twentieth-century American poet reflecting three decades of Bishop’s work and a cluster of new poems and translations of contemporary poets writing in Spanish. Winner of the 1970 National Book Award. Book and unclipped dust jacket are in fine condition, unusually so for a volume that hasn’t always worn well. Even the lettering on the spine looks fresh. “Elizabeth Bishop’s poems are quite, truthful, sad, funny, most marvelously individual….The more you read her poems, the better and fresher, the more nearly perfect they seem.” Randall Jarrell.
