8 POEMS

n.p.: (Hollow Wind Press), 1981. First edition. Very good plus.. Early limited edition chapbook from the Pulitzer-winning poet, inscribed (and annotated) to friend and fellow poet Stuart Dischell. Published by Daniel Simko's almost non-existent Hollow Wind Press, Wright's brief collection of poems is probably the rarest of his publications — issued in an edition of just 50 copies. Dischell, to whom this copy is inscribed, is the winner of the National Poetry Series, a Pushcart Prize, as well as fellowships from the NEA and Guggenheim. Wright has additionally altered the title page of the book, adding "The Collected Darkness of" above his name. OCLC finds (truncated) just three locations — especially rare with the original hand-typed errata. A warm association of an important entry in the poet's oeuvre. 8.75'' x 7''. Original black-and-white pictorial wraps. [16] pages. Cover offset; internally xerographically reproduced. Limited edition, one of fifty copies signed and numbered by the poet, this #29. Additionally inscribed in year of publication by Wright on the title page: "To Stuart / Franz / Cambridge December 1981." With original hand-typed errata loosely laid in. (Inventory #: 45807)
