Wallace Stevens (1879-1955)

Owl's Clover. 1936

STEVENS, Wallace (1879-1955). Owl’s Clover. New York: The Alcestis Press, 1936.



First edition, limited issue, no.32 of 85 copies signed by Stevens from a total edition of 105. Of this, his third book, Stevens wrote to his publisher: ‘the title is merely a phrase of my own. What I mean by it is that the reader may at least hope to find here and there the pleasure of poetry, if not exactly the pleasure of thought. To combine those two things is one of the jobs that lies ahead’ (Letters, p. 312, to Ronald Lane Latimer, 26 October 1936, quoted in Edelstein). Edelstein A3.



Tall Octavo (238 x 158mm). Original printed wrappers (spine slightly worn and darkened, a few stains, without the cardboard slipcase); housed in modern cloth slipcase.
