Original blind-stamped green cloth with gilt-lettered spine. In original unclipped ($1.75) dust jacket with engraving by Lynd Ward. 67, [1] pages. Light offsetting to front and rear endpapers, some apparently from a non-archival sleeve (no longer present); light soil and wear to jacket. Most leaves unopened.

Second and final collection of Faulkner's poetry published during his lifetime, comprising forty-four numbered poems, of which fourteen had appeared previously, wholly or in part. "William Faulkner's new volume of poems is immediately notable for the number of experiments in imitation which it contains. . . . In the first of his forty-four poems, Mr. Faulkner treats of a drawing room full of 'All the Dead Pilots' in a strict 'Prufrock' and 'Portrait of a Lady' idiom. In the third poem he yields to the thrill of hallucination, and he gets it with Hart Crane's meansâ"a dazzling eruption of metaphors on a blank verse norm. In poem IV he writes a complete E. E. Cummings poem and throughout the volume he works in a few patented tricks (even Mr. Cummings's favorite prefix Un-). Almost any student given the anonymous poems XI, XII, XIII, XIV, XV would spot them as the work of A. E. Housman." (William Gorman, "William Faulkner, Poet," New York Sun, April 21, 1933, p. 25) N.
