Description: 4to. Illustrated with six original etchings by Richard Diebenkorn. Original red morocco-backed green boards, green and red slipcase. Richard Diebenkorn's illustrations for the poems of William Butler Yeats. From the edition limited to 426 copies signed by the artist. Helen Vendler, one of the foremost authorities on modern poetry and a University Professor at Harvard, selected for the Arion Press 145 poems by Yeats and provided an introductory essay for the book. Richard Diebenkorn (1922-93) took the Yeatsian theme of an empty coat on a hanger to produce a series of prints transforming the garment from a representational frock-coat into an abstracted suit-bag. The sixth etching is a double map of Ireland.
