This book is in full leather with hubbed spines. Includes "A special message to subscribers from Robert Penn Warren." Signed by the author. "This volume is of selected poems, arranged in antichronological order covering some fifty years. I sometime feel in my poems a constant interplay and tension between the romance of nature and the romance of the city." Robert Penn Warren (April 24, 1905 - September 15, 1989) was an American poet, novelist, and literary critic and one of the founders of New Criticism. He was also a charter member of the Fellowship of Southern Writers. He founded the literary journal The Southern Review with Cleanth Brooks in 1935. He received the 1947 Pulitzer Prize for the Novel for All the King's Men and the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1958 and 1979. He is the only person to have won Pulitzer Prizes for both fiction and poetry. Warren served as the Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress, 1944-1945 (later termed Poet Laureate), and his two Pulitzer Prizes in poetry were for Promises: Poems 1954-1956 and for Now and Then. Promises also won the annual National Book Award for Poetry. In 1974, the National Endowment for the Humanities selected him for the Jefferson Lecture, the U.S. federal government's highest honor for achievement in the humanities. Warren's lecture was entitled "Poetry and Democracy" (subsequently published under the title Democracy and Poetry). Serving as something of a "collected works" compendium, author and poet Robert Penn Warren published these selected poems on 1975, fourteen years before his death. Evident in the selection are the hallmarks of his entire range of poetic output. Regarded as one of the best poets of his generation, Robert Penn Warren also received tremendous recognition for All the King's Men, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1947. This outstanding book is bound in genuine leather and features gilded, sewn in pages and ribbon marker, simply superb quality, Franklin Library at its best. The Franklin Library was a division of The Franklin Mint that produced fine collector edition books over three decades ending in the year 2000. For this reason all Franklin Library editions are now considered "out of print" and are no longer available for sale from the Franklin Mint. The Franklin Library produced books in three different binding styles referred to as full genuine leather, imitation leather, and quarter bound genuine leather. The full leather bound editions were produced through out the Franklin Library's full life span and the other two styles (imitation and quarter bound) were only produced through the 1970's and 80's. Below are some of the characteristics found in all Franklin Library editions along with more detailed information about the different binding styles. All Editions: • High quality paper; • Pages that are sewn not glued into the binding; • Gold gilded page edges on all three sides; • Raised spine bands that give each book that distinctive antique look. The genuine full leather bound editions are the highest quality of the three. While most characteristics remained constant through out the different series and years of production the style of end papers varied from silk moiré to decorative paper. Some of the characteristics that remained constant: • Full genuine leather binding; • 22k. gold lettering and stampings on the spine and covers; and • Attached silk page marker.
