News of the World: Poems
News of the World: Poems by Philip Levine, published by Alfred A. Knopf in 2009. This stated First Edition hardcover is offered with its dust jacket and is graded Very Good. ISBN 9780307272232.
A late-career collection from one of America's major poets of work and working-class life, News of the World moves through Detroit factories, family history, memory, travel, political experience and the passage of time. Levine received two National Book Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry during his career and later served as United States Poet Laureate from 2011 to 2012.
This is an appealing association copy with a presentation inscription and Philip Levine's signature on the title page. Also included is a signed letter dated 9 November 2009 from Eli Levine to Bill. In the letter, Eli identifies Philip as his brother, explains that he is sending Phil's newly published book and notes that he himself appears as the brother in two poems. Together, the inscription and letter preserve the personal story of the copy and directly connect the collection's family material to Philip Levine's brother.
The hardcover and dust jacket are Very Good according to the seller. The photographed title and copyright pages appear clean apart from the intended inscription and signature. The accompanying letter shows visible folds or handling creases and a small handwritten notation near its upper margin. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
