New York: Random House, 1938. Hardcover. 56p., first edition, previous owner's name else very good condition in a slightly chipped dj. "Kenneth Fearing (1902-1961) began to write his frenetic, exuberant, Whitmanesque social satires. Strongly indentified with the poor, like many political poets who wrote both before and during the Depression, Fearing is also, conversely, quite ruthless about the emptiness of the idealizations that drive self-delusion in modern culture." *Nelson p. 109.

Description:
New York: Random House, 1938. First edition. Brown cloth in dust jacket; small 8vo. 56 pp. An unusually attractive copy of the third collection and third book by an author better known now for his mysteries especially THE BIG CLOCK. Praised by M. L. Rosenthal as "the chief poet of the American Depression", and by Thomas Disch among others, he was a unique voice, sadly little-read today. The endpapers browned but less than usual, the dust jacket somewhat spine-darkened, otherwise near fine.
