The Bridge
New York: Horace Liveright, 1930.
First American edition, revised from the Paris edition published by Black Sun Press. [iv], 82 pp. Bound in publisher's original dark blue cloth ruled in blind, with titles in gilt on spine and upper board. Near Fine with hardly any wear, pages slightly toned with age, lacking jacket. An attractive copy. An epic modernist poem inspired by the Brooklyn Bridge, the New York City landmark that's changed hands in the minds of people so many times it deserves to adorn today's cryptocurrency, if such a thing were possible. The photographic frontispiece is by the poet's buddy, Walker Evans.
