8vo. Printed wraps. x, 192pp. A title in the Poets on Poetry series. Poet Jean Burden's copy with her signature on the first blank and with her dog-ears and pencil underlining. The author has signed her name beside her printed name on the title page and has written a note on the half-title: "for Jean / on her own prairie" dated 12 April 1989. This Pulitzer Prize winning poet also writes children's books. Some edge wear and light spine crease, small scuff to upper cover. Good.
