Engle, Paul

For the Iowa Dead

Iowa City: State University of Iowa, 1956. Staple-bound. Good. Item #078705

Pages clean, though toned in margins; the saddle staples bear rust spotting, and the cover shows a large brown spot at the lower front, some smudges and spots of foxing on the rear, toning around edges, and an upward bend across the lower front, causing a small split at the spine heel but otherwise leaving no mark that proper shelving won't correct. 24pp. "The worn, quick syllable of 'war' / Proves no blood, terror, agony. / The name of 'sorrow' has no more / Night-weeping anguish than the look / Of petals dried in an old book."

Price: $20.00
